Personally and professionally, I believe in the importance of genuine connection and authenticity. I am open to whatever methods will work best for each individual and believe that treating each individual with care and respect is essential for good work. I have been working as a therapist in various areas for close to 15 years now and have experience with everything from young children to the very elderly. I cannot stress enough how important it is to me that every person is treated as the individual that they are and that getting to know the whole person is essential to me for the best therapy outcome.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I believe the first session should be about getting to know each other. Opening up to a random stranger can feel incredibly intimidating, so I am happy to take the process as slowly as you need to go.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe that as a provider, our job is to hold a mirror up and help each person see themselves more clearly; most of the time, this is helping people see how wonderful they really are and moving past damage that has been done by others either intentionally or unintentionally. The greatest characteristics needed for this are the ability to connect, be humble, and empathize; all of which I strive to excel at daily.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
The person-centered approach is the primary way I look at every case. I believe it is essential to start from here and move out to more specific methods or techniques that work for each individual. Every person is unique and has a background which informs who they are to this point and only with acceptance and understanding of that can a therapeutic relationship offer the most help.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
The Cognitive method is helpful for many individuals who are stuck in negative feedback and anxiety loops. It can be extremely beneficial for individuals struggling with thoughts created by programming from previous years.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I am a huge advocate for the benefits of mindfulness in many aspects of life and find it to be helpful for many in the therapeutic process. Sometimes it seems to simple of a process to be so helpful; however, sometimes the simplest things do provide the most benefit because they are easy to get started when you are having a hard time.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
This method is typically used for PTSD; there are other methods that I use for treating trauma; however, CPT is well established as being a standard of care.
