I will provide a supportive, caring environment for clients as they share their most vulnerable topics in sessions. I will provide feedback as needed and utilize excellent listening skills throughout the session. I understand that people are different in what they need and want from therapy and do my best to adjust accordingly.

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

Building rapport with clients does not happen in the first session, but clients should feel comfortable and feel confident about the direction the therapy will go in future sessions.

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

I enjoy working with parents wanting parenting coaching tips for behavioral issues. I also have training in trauma-informed therapy techniques for adults and children.

My treatment methods

Attachment-based

I typically would use this method with families that have adopted children and are experiencing attachment issues and behavioral issues. I am trained in Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI).

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I often utilize CBT in sessions with adults & children when introducing them to coping skill techniques and learning to control their negative thoughts.

EMDR

I am trained in this intervention and find it has been very successful with both adults and children who have traumatic experiences and are learning how to manage their memories and negative thoughts.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I am trained in DBT and use it to introduce interventions like meditation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills.
