LPC, 12 years of experience
My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, habits, and beliefs with a trauma-informed, collaborative approach to treatment. My theoretical foundation is rooted in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, and I incorporate an integrative approach utilizing cognitive, behavioral, imaginative, and emotive techniques to cultivate change specific to your needs. Let us face it, sometimes, despite our best efforts, we may find ourselves struggling to cope. You may need support and a safe place to be share, be valued, and encouraged. You may even be seeking to gather a new perspective, clarity, or a new way of dealing with adversity. Whether it is personal or professional goals, loss, relationships, or trying to find your sense of purpose and value at this time in your life, I can help! Together, we can navigate these feelings and forge a path forward.
Initial sessions often involve the intake, which may feel more formal than a therapy session, but it is foundational for your treatment. At this phase of treatment, you can expect an overview of my background and experiences, as well as an overview of the treatment process and how I think I can help. I will gather information that brought you to treatment.
My greatest strengths are my ability to cultivate a healthy and personable therapeutic relationship. I recognize a strong therapeutic alliance is crucial to a client's progress. In addition, my niche is how I am able to customize treatment based on my client's needs.
My clients are motivated and open to collaboration. They come to treatment with an open mind, willing to put in the work towards change. They may not possess the tools or may be stuck with unhelpful perspectives or coping strategies that impede their progress. As a Veteran of the Army, I also love to work with our military community.
