I am focused on helping you live your best life, mentally, physically, spiritually, and culturally, to have a deeper connection with those around you, and finally begin the process of self-acceptance & healing. Why continue down the same path, only to yield the same results? Allow yourself the opportunity to heal, love, and grow. Having the right therapist in trauma recovery makes all the difference, when it comes to either being re-traumatized and regressing, or cognitively processing events, and eliminating phobias. This was my reason for becoming a counselor 12yrs ago, and undoubtedly my strongest area. Experience merits a level of expertise that cannot compare to books.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
If you have never been in therapy before, it would be helpful if you are able to write down 1-3 topics you’d like to discuss during the session.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have over 13 years of experience, I am therefore fairly direct in identifying the issue, explaining the treatment modality used specific to your circumstance, and why. If you are not looking to create positive change in your life, and prefer little to no feedback, I may not be the therapist for you. Of all topics, couples counseling is the easiest, due to differences in men & women’s brains. I have not had any couples attend more than 5 sessions in the past 4 years. I am also helpful to the neurodivergent population, due to conceptualization. I have a long history of working in rehabs- I am therefore highly effective w treating addiction. I specialize in OCD & phobias, and have helped several patients overcome their fears & turn to driving. And lastly, I am helpful with treating trauma, due to experience. Although trauma may have a longer duration in terms of treatment, people can, and have, worked through trauma, in order to repair their relationships, and heal their lives. Change can, and does happen- there’s no reason to continue the same patterns only to attain the same results.

Trauma-Focused CBT
Although I use a variety of empirically-supported methods, cognitive behavioral therapy is the umbrella under which all these behavioral methods are derived. I am also a believer in Adlerian theory- that social justice & social inclusion of community will provide the strongest support system. Having the right therapist in trauma recovery makes all the difference, when it comes to either being re-traumatized and regressing, or cognitively processing events, and eliminating phobias.
