Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Building rapport and creating safety in the therapeutic alliance/relationship will be the focus of the first session. Therapist will also obtain a comprehensive history through clinical interview, including additional assessment of trauma history that may or may not include additional evidence-based assessment measures, to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment focus.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My areas of expertise include, but are not limited to, trauma, sexual abuse/assault, childhood abuse and trauma, PTSD, Complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and issues relevant to the the Christian faith. I am open to working with clients of all faiths and beliefs however, I have additional experience in working with clients who identify as Christians.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I have the personality and energy to work well with children, adolescents/teens and am trained in trauma-focused therapies that work best for these developmental groups. When working with minor children I recommend and appreciate caregiver involvement and feedback as best practice. I also work extensively with adults who struggle with a history of trauma, especially interpersonal trauma that are highly motivated to integrate their past trauma in adaptive ways. I offer in-person, virtual and hybrid (combination of in-person and virtual) sessions to be best meet my client's needs.
