LPCMH, 30 years of experience
With nearly 30 years of counseling experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have dedicated myself to assisting individuals in navigating life's challenges. Recognizing that facing life's obstacles can be akin to an uphill battle, my commitment is to provide unwavering support and guidance, ensuring that no one has to confront these difficulties alone. I am here to help you overcome challenges and discover your path to success, fostering a therapeutic relationship built on understanding and empowerment.
During our first session, I aim to create a safe and comfortable environment for clients to openly share their thoughts and feelings. We'll discuss the reasons for seeking counseling, explore personal history, and identify goals for therapy. I'll also provide an overview of the therapeutic process and address any questions or concerns. Together, we'll lay the groundwork for a collaborative and supportive journey towards mental and emotional well-being.
As a mental health provider specializing in PTSD and trauma, my greatest strengths lie in my empathetic approach, deep understanding of the complexities surrounding trauma, and a commitment to creating a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients. I leverage evidence-based therapies with a personalized touch, fostering resilience and empowering individuals to navigate their healing journey. My dedication to ongoing learning ensures that I stay informed about the latest advancements in trauma-informed care, allowing me to provide comprehensive and effective support for those struggling with PTSD.
As a PTSD and Trauma Specialist, I am uniquely equipped to support individuals who have experienced profound psychological distress due to traumatic events. My expertise lies in assisting clients grappling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), helping them navigate the intricate challenges of healing and recovery. I am particularly adept at providing a safe and empathetic space for those who have faced trauma, tailoring therapeutic interventions to address their specific needs and foster resilience on their journey towards mental well-being.
In my practice, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help patients identify and modify negative thought patterns and behaviors. Through collaborative exploration, I work with individuals to recognize distorted thinking, challenge irrational beliefs, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. By fostering a proactive and goal-oriented approach, CBT empowers patients to gain insight into the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, ultimately promoting positive change and improved mental well-being.
