This is not my first career. I have an MBA from George Washington University and have worked for some of the largest firms in the world. Please see my LinkedIn. Nearly 10 years ago I was fortune to go back to school and completed my 2nd Masters in mental health counseling. I have worked in residential treatment centers, a psychiatric hospital during COVID, worked exclusively with convicted felons for 3 years and now in private practice. I know a little about the power of transformation and taking personal responsibility.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is designed to get to know each other and see if there is a good fit. The process is straightforward. I will conduct a detailed assessment and you will identify the initial case plan, or "targets", that will be the cornerstone of our work together. This approach is 100% focused on you. I will check in at the beginning of each session, have you identify a target, and facilitate the exploration of the target to a point of deeper resolution. You can make modifications to the case plan anytime. The case plan is also our mutual accountability tool.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having a diverse background with significant experience receiving and delivering these therapeutic approaches enables us to customize and make rapid adjustments based on your needs. This client-centric approach also reduces the distractions that can come up in other forms of therapy where you are relying on someone else's interpretation and guidance, which is infrequently followed at best.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Trauma Informed Care
My goal is to help you find meaningful closure to emotional wounds and then help you build a practical framework for achieving personal, health, relationship and professional goals. I am trained in four (4) trauma informed disciplines (EMDR, TIR, LSR, EMI) and have refined my approach over thousands of sessions. This is not talk therapy. All our work is driven by a formal case plan and list of “targets” that you identify. You decide what you want to work on each session. My role is to facilitate your exploration so that you find your own resolution. The goal is to reduce overall emotional charge to free up space in the present to prepare you for the next step. The next step is to frame out your personal development plan: goals, action plan, strengths and support community. This holistic method addresses the deep-seated impact of injuries and facilitates a path toward emotional clarity and resilience by improving confidence and self esteem. You will also gain insight into a new identity and gain more clarity as to how you can navigate the world around you.
