Hello. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been practicing for over 10 years. I help children and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma. I also help kids who struggle with anger management and symptoms of ADHD. I have been using CBT, along with other therapies such as DBT and EMDR, to transform clients' lives for years. These therapies are very effective and I have been highly successful with them. We'll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We'll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life. DBT is a therapy that combines some CBT techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, acceptance, effective communication, and mindful awareness. EMDR is eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. This is usually used to treat trauma but may be effective for other psychological issues as well.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Our first session is very conversational. I want to know what challenges you are having that is affecting areas of your life. We will work together to develop a recovery plan. Together, we will identify your challenges and goals - where you want your life to be a month, six months, a year from now. Then, we'll identify options and strategies you can use to get there. You'll leave the session with a better understanding of what you're facing with an "actions I can take right now" approach. There will always be room for suggestions concerning our work together, including keeping each other accountable.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am a compassionate, attentive listener and I am very knowledgeable of tools that are most effective.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with children and adults. My best population is anyone who isn't so stuck in their ways that they can't accept feedback. I like to work with people who are willing to receive treatment and do the work.
