I am honored to be able to assist others with challenges throughout life and I have been counseling clients for over 15 years. I have worked with trauma, and criminal justice issues as well as using play therapy. I am trauma focused and I believe trauma colors our behaviors and our future self. I use Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing therapy to explore past trauma that is affecting your life. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change those thinking errors that are interfering with your judgment and behaviors. My clients will be served by me on a weekly basis through the convenience of telehealth. Together we will identify goals and objectives to meet so you can begin to improve your symptoms, your mental health, and your life. For Post Traumatic Stress Disorder I will work with you for 12 sessions with Cognitive Processing Theory . Most clients see progress in the first 4-5 sessions.

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

My clients can expect to explore their reason for coming to therapy, discuss their needs and background, and ask any questions they may have about the process of healing through therapy and becoming more mentally healthy and their best self.

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

I enjoy working with trauma and seeing the progress my clients make through therapy. I use a gold standard, evidenced based assessment to target areas in a person's life that have been affected by trauma. I believe my therapy style is solution focused and based on reality. I explore thinking errors and how they affect a person's life. I make evening and Saturday appointments available and conduct therapy while the client is in their own home in order to make the experience as convenient as possible for the client.
