I am a nationally certified licensed professional counselor, offering person-centered goal directed therapy. Clients are greeted with a warm safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be openly expressed without judgement. I genuinely listen with an empathetic ear and validate feelings. I also encourage and help clients to increase their overall self-regulation and executive functioning skills. My hope is that the therapy process will help clients to grow towards self discovery, self acceptance, and healing.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use a variety of treatment methods, including assessments such as the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 to assess depression and anxiety levels as well as other assessments if indicated. I also use cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavioral techniques, and I am certified in cognitive processing therapy (CPT) for PTSD and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT).
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My specialties are related to trauma treatment, treating all ages and backgrounds.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
