Are you wanting to improve yourself or your situation, but don't know where to start? Have you been coping in your own ways, but are looking for different or more effective options? I work with my clients to empower them to reach their goals and thrive. I enjoy working with those struggling with depression, anxiety, work problems, ADHD, life transitions, boundaries, self esteem, and more. My experience in inpatient, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient settings have shaped my use of diverse styles of therapy. I most often use CBT, DBT, trauma informed, mindfulness, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy that are individualized for each person. You are in control of your journey to healing. My role as a therapist is to support you through that journey. I look forward to working with you!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect to take away new skills and insights that will help them presently and in the future. In the first session with me, expect a lot of questions. I want to know why you are currently here, factors that brought you here, your strengths, resources, barriers, current coping strategies, traumas, relationships, etc. I believe it is important to know the big picture before addressing smaller issues.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use a blend of person centered trauma informed CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a novel evidenced-based psychotherapy that uses eye movements to address common problems such as depression, anxiety, phobias, and PTSD.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe my strengths are being able to connect with clients and provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and informal environment. I truly believe every person is unique. This means I expect my clients to find some tools and interventions don't work for them (THIS IS NORMAL!). We'll just work together to find what does work.
