LPC, 10 years of experience
Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Arizona . I received my Masters from the University of Ottawa. I help individuals struggling with trauma related and mental health issues. I have over 10 years of experience and believe that all people have the capacity to heal and grow. I utilize several types of modalities in treating various issues and have broad experience working with diverse populations. I also am a brain health coach with AMEN clinics. I utilize my understanding of neurophysiology in treating trauma and other anxiety related issues.
Clients can expect to be safe and enter into a non-judgmental and supportive environment. I consider myself to be a client-centered therapist and utilize a strengths approach in working together.
I am committed, dedicated, and have diverse knowledge and experience.
I love working with adults 18 and over. I serve couples as well, but I do not work with individuals in custody battles. My passion is working with those who have experienced sexual trauma. I also work with first responders, individuals battling with anxiety, and I work with those enduring relational and communication issues.
I believe that attachment theory has a lot to do with rooted based issues in people's lives. Repairing attachment can be tantamount to the healing process.
While I do Christian therapy, I do not do Biblical counseling. They are different. I think integrating faith into therapy helps clients connect to God or their own higher power as it relates to recovery.
I use many forms of CBT in helping shift limiting beliefs and increasing confidence.
I am EMDR level 2 trained and use this modality is treating trauma because of it's high level of efficacy.
Circling back to attachment theory, EFT is tantamount in my work with couples and truly being able to navigate communication and increasing relational connection.
