About Camille
Hello, my name is Camille. As a Licensed Psychotherapist, I view therapy as a deeply personal and transformational process that promotes growth, regardless of where you are in life; whether in a crisis, have a relationship issue, curious on who you are, or suffer from destructive patterns.
I provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space that encourages you to discuss your deepest thoughts and struggles to promote optimal healing and balance. Together we focus on the areas in your life that feel unbalanced or are not working well so that you can live life with more self-awareness, clarity, creativity, curiosity, and confidence. The goal is to better manage work and school stress, improve relationships, and find relief from anxiety and depression in a therapeutic environment that is warm and supportive.
It is paramount that I build a strong rapport with my clients as therapy is a collaborative healing process. I believe in holistic healing and gaining a deeper understanding of oneself. I integrate mindfulness into my therapy practice through Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy modalities, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Compassion-Focused, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
My services include traditional talk therapy as well as ketamine-assisted psychotherapy where I provide preparation and integration session(s) pre and post to the experiential ketamine session(s). Ketamine is considered a breakthrough treatment for depression, PTSD, and some other neuropsychiatric conditions. Please contact me to learn more about this treatment and feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I also offer therapy utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which connects both sides of the brain to process past trauma in a safe and secure way.
My specialties are working with teenagers, young adults, and military personnel who are experiencing anxiety, depression, inner conflict, low self-esteem, addiction, and/or relational issues.
