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

I personalize my approach to the individual needs of my clients. I enjoy providing resources and teaching skills, and I believe that work in and outside the therapy session enhances progress. While I can provide therapy tasks when clients are interested, each client's preferences and needs are unique. Progress looks like improved functioning and satisfaction in daily life, typically with an increased ability to understand and respond to life's challenges, though progress may look different for each person.

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

I am professional but down-to-earth, which I have been told helps others open up and be themselves and feel that I do understand them without judgment. I am committed to life-long learning in my professional life and my personal path of growth. I am always looking to explain my competency in various ways – whether learning about cutting-edge treatments or expanding my knowledge and skills in evidence-based practices.

My treatment methods

EMDR

I have experience and have been trained in EMDR for various experiences. I have experience in treating PTSD, and CPTSD. I have also treated other issues such as family-of-origin issues, anxiety, depression, and other issues causing people distress.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT helps us detangle the impact that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors have on distress and how addressing thoughts can impact changes in how we feel and react in life.

Eclectic

I use an eclectic and trauma-informed approach. I incorporate interventions based on clients' preferences and needs. I utilize CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR primarily.
