What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will define your expectations and goals for treatment. You will have an opportunity to contribute to the development of a clinical treatment plan otherwise known as an individualized treatment plan. I will ask you about your support network as well as skills that you have tried in the past. I usually assign homework or send resources for the first session. I provide client centered therapy so we can utilize the time however you would like!

Strength-Based
Strength based is my go-to counseling approach. No matter where you are at, I will assist you in identifying your strengths! You are stronger than you probably know! Let’s continue to help you build up your strengths as you make improvements in your daily life. Strength based interventions are wonderfully powerful from my perspective and can facilitate and support the process of change.
EMDR
I am trained in applying EMDR interventions. I enjoy applying EMDR resourcing skills during counseling sessions. I will be glad to explain to you how EMDR is utilized in telehealth sessions and we can begin the process of bilateral stimulation (known as BLS) as well as neural network mapping. Let’s take some time to identify your negative core beliefs and adapt these beliefs to reflect a more positive belief system about yourself, your life and the world. Let’s create a vision of hope as you proceed to process your ur past experiences. Allow your intuition to be your guide!
Faith based therapy
I thoroughly enjoy faith based counseling. I have a passion for faith and believe fishy to be a pillar of strength. I am happy to listen to your spiritual and religious beliefs as well as incorporate those in our treatment modalities!
Adlerian
I adore Adlerian therapy. Alfred Adler is a pioneer of the psycho-therapy field. I believe I have a natural affinity for Adlerian techniques. I would be glad to share more details on how Adlerian therapy could be helpful for you in counseling based on your specific experiences.
Trauma Informed Care
I take trauma informed care very seriously. I use universal precautions for trauma. I provide psychological first aid for recent traumas as well as processing techniques for past trauma. The seamless integration of art therapy and trauma informed counseling makes my practice unique as a mental health counselor. We can work together to survey your trauma history and delve into the impacts of complex PTSD.
