My mission is to help promote healing from within, as well as emotional support, and behavioral change. As humans, we can get stuck in the past or future. As a truly empathetic, genuine, and nonjudgemental clinician, I can provide you with a safe environment to explore and process the nature of your issues that may be keeping you in a state of suffering. I have experience working with children, adults, couples, and families. I am trained in techniques effective with issues including mood disorders, emotional disturbance, family conflict, behavioral disturbance, anxiety, and many other issues affecting your everyday life. I have a special interest in experience working with trauma, sexual abuse issues, and PTSD. Using Trauma-Focused CBT, I can help clients acknowledge experienced trauma without negative symptoms attached. I accept multiple insurance plans and will work with you to find an appointment time that works with your schedule. Please call with any questions or to schedule your first appointment.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session will be an intake session in which I will gather your background information, and current concerns, provide you with a diagnosis, and formulate your personal treatment goals. In the second session, you will be provided with a psychoeducational segment and will be front-loaded with coping skills that we will continue to utilize going forth. It is my goal that with every session you begin to feel increasingly stronger, feel supported, and work towards improved daily functioning.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use various treatment methods and tools based on each individual's needs. Treatment methods include CBT, Trauma-focused CBT, psychoeducation, Behavioral Therapy, and Exposure Therapy, along with providing coping skills including grounding and mindfulness.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My clients have described me as empathetic, supportive, genuine, and down-to-earth. I have a lot of experience working with all types and want to make sure progress is made. My goal is to help you gain strength and to be able to endure lifes challenges without suffering.
