My Approach
Although I have a basis in psychodynamic theory, I rely heavily on treatments that have been researched and proven to be effective. These methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Therapy, and Mindfulness. While working at the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center, I received training on the treatment of PTSD from Lori Zoellner at the Center for Anxiety and Traumatic Stress at the University of Washington.
