I am a trauma therapist at heart but also particularly enjoy working with anxiety disorder, including OCD. I am committed to helping you realize the best version of yourself.

First session
In our first session together, we will have brief introductions and an overview of confidentiality and HIPPA compliant communications before diving into the reasons for seeking therapy. Our first session is designed to gather information, get to know one another, and discuss your therapy goals. There will likely be uncomfortable topics and questions that you are free to decline. You are encouraged to ask questions and share any concerns.
Strengths
I consider it a privilege to work with clients as they navigate their journey of healing and change. I am results oriented and bring compassion, experience, skill, warmth, and laughter while honoring the seriousness of your work and willingness to seek counseling.
Ideal clients
I welcome clients ages 16 and older for individual therapy. Most of my clients bring emotional pain, whether symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety or grief, and they are stressed, exhausted, self-critical, and disconnected. I assist clients in understanding the impact of their trauma history, and/or symptoms, on current functioning. My approach is integrative, and skills based. both insight-oriented and skills-based. My training and experience working with trauma, anxiety, grief/loss, substance abuse, and life transitions equip me to help foster resilience and address an array of concerns.
Treatment methods
Eclectic
An eclectic approach to therapy means I draw on multiple theoretical orientations and techniques to tailor treatment to best address individual needs, expectations, and goals. In my 20+ years of experience, I have witnessed excellent results using this adaptable, multi-faceted approach. Some of the theoretical orientations I use include acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), exposure response prevention (ERP), dialectical behavioral therapy skills (DBT), solution-focused therapy, and metaphor/narrative therapy.
