I have worked in the mental health field for 20 years and 10 years as a therapist. During the past 20 years, I have experience in different settings and populations. I have training to utilize EMDR therapy, but I also use other treatment methods. I believe in a client centered approach to help you meet your goals. I typically work with ages 13 through adulthood on an individual basis.
I'm hopeful that a client will feel safe and heard in a first session as we begin to build our therapeutic relationship.
As a provider, I feel my greatest strengths are assertiveness, having empathy and compassion and be nonjudgmental.
I utilize EMDR in most of my sessions. I believe techniques from EMDR are helpful to everyone. This would be client preference.
