I am a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals seeking to enhance their mental well-being and alleviate symptoms of distress. Holding a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and bringing years of experience in the medical field (EMS), I have gained a deep understanding of the complex challenges individuals encounter in both their professional and personal lives.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I believe in tailoring therapy to meet the unique needs and goals of each client, fostering a collaborative and empowering therapeutic relationship.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My theoretical orientation is integrative and evidence based. I incorporate TF-CBT (trauma focused cognitive behavior therapy) and MB-CBT Mindfulness-Based cognitive behavior therapy) techniques. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and certified in tele-health services. I am relational. I have a direct, warm and trusting relationship with my clients. Trust is the cornerstone. Always. I encourage, collaborate and engage with my client’s treatment plan with a 'team' approach. A team approach that helps facilitate and cultivate personal growth resulting in positive changes, maximizing treatment effectiveness.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My career as a paramedic allows me as a therapist to easily identify the complexities and challenges frontline workers regularly encounter. I understand and emphasize by personally identifying with the numerous, and multi-facet issues and job stressors from a 'street view' perspective. I most definitely-get it.
