Get to know me

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

My therapy orientation is cognitive behavior and believe that it's important to have a good connection with my clients before diving into what needs to be addressed. Starting in 2019, during my counseling residency, I have participated in training as well as obtained certifications in therapy modalities, including certifications in A-CRA and CT-R as well as trained in TF-CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based CBT. The needs of the individual client direct which strategies will be most beneficial during therapy.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and safe environment for everyone. I believe in helping others to recognize and work to minimize self-judgment and self-criticism thus I model being non-judgmental, positive, and affirming in sessions while acknowledging areas that are creating problems in one's life that need to be addressed to see positive changes.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I have focused much of my training in the area of trauma. I focus on helping individuals understand the affects and effects of significant experiences they have survived, helping them learn to challenge trauma related beliefs, navigate emotional and physical pain, cultivate healthy relationships, and overcome challenges to recovery. This often includes working with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, and anger.
