I have been a trauma trained therapist that has worked with teens and families for over 20 years in schools, hospitals and private practice settings. I work to help my clients with reprocessing trauma, coping and finding healthier behaviors that change their lives. I empower my clients and walk the journey of life alongside them. I create safety in the therapy space.
Introductions, limits of confidentiality and policies will all be covered in the first session. As the therapist I will work to create a safe, non-judgmental space for the client, get to know them and create a plan with them for therapy.
I am a great listener and use research based strategies to help clients reach their goals.
I work best with teens and adults with anxiety, depression, life transitions and trauma. The clients should be willing to share and grow in their therapy experience.
I use CBT skills to help clients cope with depression and anxiety.
Motivational interviewing is used to help clients come to their own conclusions and see the bigger picture of the issues they are facing.
I help clients understand the stages of grief and that it is a process that must be witnessed.
I use this method to help bring solutions and relief to the client on issue that can be quickly resolved.
