In walking life’s path we can encounter crossroads, or obstacles, which block our ability to see ahead. We might get flooded with anxiety, or bogged down by choice; pausing our journey. One positive way to resume progress is to gain insight into the challenge, and find a next step. Taking that step shifts perspective, enabling the discovery of yet more steps.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

We start with brief introductions, then complete a few assessments to aid in identifying possible underlying causes to your challenges. This will help me create a specific plan for us for follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a compassionate, trauma-informed listener; I support you in your travels, pointing out observations based on my own life and parenting experiences, and various training and professional degrees.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Successful clients begin to view challenges as a way to build understanding, transforming difficulties into opportunities for growth.

My treatment methods

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

I have used IFS for over 7 years as my trauma informed model. I use IFS in combination with Cognitive, Dialectic, and Solution Focused Therapies as needed to help reduce anxious and depressive symptoms.
