I am a therapist with 10 years of experience in the field, with specialties in treatment of trauma, anxiety, and grief. I also practice utilization of evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Prolonged Exposure, along with experience in use of mindfulness, emotional tolerance and person-centered techniques with my clients. I've worked in community mental health for much of my career, so I have had experience with clients who had struggled with challenges such as housing insecurity, incarceration and addiction and complex grief. I also enjoy working with people who face challenges with self-image and relational trauma through education on boundaries and healthy communication as well as self-advocacy.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I believe in letting the clients lead the session with their main concerns and any background information that would be helpful in our time together. I will work to build rapport and help the person to complete a treatment plan to focus on central goals. I tend to take a relaxed and laid back approach to therapy, working with clients in an east to understand and straightforward way
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
