Therapy can feel like a scary thing, but it doesn't have to be. There isn't anything you have to be scared to tell me- I'll literally lose my license if I betray your trust! I have worked with all kinds of trauma, orientations, and lifestyles. I have worked with a wide range of people, and I believe in respecting everyone. This is a safe place for growth and healing to start. Life is too short to not give it a try. My goal is always for you to feel safe and heard. Sometimes going through changes is a painful difficult thing, so it helps to have someone who you feel you can discuss frustrations with. If you ever feel that we are not a good fit, I will support you in finding someone who is. No one should have to feel alone when they are working to better their selves.

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

My first session is typically a lot of me asking you questions to get to know you. This is where we explore what is going on in your life that lead to you seeking therapy, and determine what goals are reasonable and helpful for us to start working towards.

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

My clients regularly report feeling heard and cared for by me. It means a lot that someone would entrust a part of their well being to me, and I am always humbled that this gets to be my job. I am motivated to help my clients. I work to see all of them as the whole, complicated, wonderful beings that they are. Every week I am studying, and I hope to keep getting more knowledgeable as a provider.

My treatment methods

Trauma-Focused CBT

CBT has gotten a bad rep lately. It is not a fix all, and should never be used to reduce your feelings towards an abusive situation. However, for those of us who have been through a difficult time, innocuous situations can trigger negative feelings about ourselves and the world around us. I utilize CBT in a strengths focused, trauma informed process that helps my clients move forward after trauma.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Sometimes our bodies know how we are feeling before our brains can keep up. I educate my clients on how to be mindful of the responses happening in their nervous system so that they can manage these symptoms to reduce stress. I also utilize this in my approach to anger management.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

If we are going to be in acceptance of our selves, we need to learn to be in acceptance of our WHOLE selves. I utilize IFS to help people come to terms with how they are feeling about past and present actions. When we are honest and in acceptance with who we are then we can start to fully love ourselves and the people around us.
