Trauma, childhood adversity, and other painful experiences have long term effects on our wellbeing and often prevent us from living the life we want and deserve. When we are unhealed, it impacts our lives by causing emotional pain, loneliness, unhealthy behaviors, negative thoughts, low self-worth and relationship problems. Exploring our experiences, beliefs, thoughts and feelings in therapy can help us find the insight we need to heal and improve our lives and relationships.

Trina practices with Pia Mellody’s Post Induction Therapy (PIT) Model, which helps us identify our childhood wounds/family template and heal from our unhealthy patterns. Through healing, we learn to show up in compassionate and boundaried ways in relationships, practice loving ourselves through self-care, and embrace our inherent worth.

Individual therapy helps with anxiety, depression, codependency, low self-worth, attachment wounds, boundaries, perfectionism, parenting challenges, communication difficulties, conflict resolution, grief and loss, life transitions, religious trauma, physical, emotional and sexual abuse, parental neglect and stress.

Work is a significant part of our lives. We spend more than 80,000 hours of our lives working, but comparatively little time exploring what kind of work we would find meaningful and fulfilling. As a result, many people end up in the wrong career feeling frustrated, dissatisfied, and burning out long before retirement.

Planning and managing our career with choices aligned with our personality, interests and values is important to our quality of life. Trina enjoys working with people at all stages of their careers, including college students, those exploring a career change and other kinds of career/job transitions.

Trina has experience working with entrepreneurs, small business owners, medical and legal professionals, asset protection/loss prevention/safety employees, business leaders/managers, and therapists.

Trina can also help with other employment concerns including work/life balance, workplace communication, work conflicts and performance issues.

In addition to her MA in Counseling, Trina has an undergraduate degree in business and completed a mini-MBA through St. Thomas. She was employed in a variety of business settings before becoming a therapist and career counselor. Trina’s experience includes leadership roles in large corporations, entrepreneurial organizations, and nonprofits.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy, often referred to as ART, is form of psychotherapy that is effective in treating all sorts of mental health problems, including trauma. ART uses a combination of evidenced-based techniques to change how distressing memories, beliefs and images are stored in the brain. These techniques include: bilateral brain stimulation through eye movements, imaginal exposure, somatic processing, neuroplasticity and memory reconsolidation. ART reduces emotional suffering, minimizes triggers, and restores mental health.
