LMHC, 12 years of experience
I am a person who practices Radical Acceptance and I use empathetic listening to understand perspectives. I will listen to you without judgement and help you identify the right skills you need to function and feel better. I have experience working with children and teens. I am a licensed school counselor and an advocate for children. I consider helping Clients navigate life stressors, challenges and loss an honor and privilege.
Our first session will be focused on building rapport and identifying what you want to accomplish from therapy.
My greatest strengths are my empathy, openness and ability to be authentic. Clients know that after their first session with me, they can be themselves and feel safe.
I have worked with a diverse group of people. I am best positioned to serve someone who wants to work on addressing their needs
I have more than a decade of experience with Solution Focused treatment approaches. I use it to quickly clarify behaviors and symptoms of concern and to guide treatment to solutions and increased Client skill development.
My experience with CBT focuses on helping Client understand the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and how to reframe and better control maladaptive thoughts and behavior.
I have 8 years of experience with TFCBT and enjoy using various approaches to help Client be able to understand the impact of trauma on their functioning and to better control their responses.
