LPC, 18 years of experience
New to Grow
In my 18 years of work with clients, I have worked with severely mentally ill populations, the addicted (both inpatient and outpatient settings), grief stricken, trauma affected and those just wanting an improved emotional life. We all have life challenges at some point in our lives, whether at a point of transition or loss, but sometimes just desiring greater self-reflection. I love helping to facilitate adaptations or change.
I would like to know who you are, the experiences that have shaped this and who you want to be. Please share your story with me.
I have extensive experience with working with addictions and I truely enjoy helping those who have experienced trauma find a safe place and move towards thriving again.
Those willing to tell their story and open to thinking and feeling a different way than when they first walk in the door. We can jointly figure out the rest.
After we get to know each other, I focus on thoughts (CBT), emotions (EFT), and body sensations (Sensorimotor Psychotherapy). From there, we formulate an approach an some attainable goals uniquely chosen for you.
We explore how your thoughts and beliefs affect and interact with the issues you are dealing with.
What you feel in your body affects your emotions and ultimately your thoughts as well.
I have been trained in the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT) that includes psychoeducation and skills-building techniques.
