As a counselor with a rich background in treating alcohol and drug addiction, I've tailored my approach to support and empower individuals navigating the complexities of recovery and personal growth. Integrating Person-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy, I offer a compassionate and effective blend of strategies designed to meet you where you are on your journey. Whether you're grappling with the challenges of addiction, seeking healing from trauma, or looking for brief, goal-oriented support, my practice is built on a foundation of understanding, validating, and guiding you toward your own motivations and strengths. I'm here to create a supportive, non-judgmental space that fosters self-discovery and empowers you to lead your recovery. My commitment is to provide personalized care that acknowledges your unique needs and aspirations, helping you to navigate life's challenges with resilience and self-awareness.

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

Clients can expect to gain a deeper understanding of their addiction and its underlying factors through our sessions. With my person-centered approach, they will feel supported, heard, and empowered to address their unique challenges. Together, we will work towards developing personalized coping strategies, enhancing their resilience, and fostering positive transformations in their lives, ultimately leading to a successful journey of recovery and personal growth.

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

My greatest strengths as a provider are profoundly shaped by my unique background, notably my personal journey through recovery and my experience as a veteran. These experiences have imbued me with a deep sense of empathy and a unique ability to connect with my clients on a very personal level. Understanding the challenges and victories associated with recovery firsthand, and having navigated the complex transitions and experiences that come with military service, I offer a perspective that is both relatable and deeply informed. Integrating diverse therapeutic modalities—such as Person-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy—into a tailored approach for each client, I draw upon a broad spectrum of strategies to provide support that is empathetic, flexible, and effective. My commitment to fostering a non-judgmental, supportive environment allows clients to feel truly seen, heard, and valued, empowering them to explore and grow. The combination of my personal and professional experiences, including the resilience I've developed as a veteran and the insight gained through my own recovery, positions me to offer compassionate, personalized, and effective guidance. This unique blend of life experiences and professional skills enables me to support clients through their journeys of recovery and personal growth with an unparalleled depth of understanding and expertise.

My treatment methods

Motivational Interviewing

From my perspective as a licensed clinical mental health counselor, incorporating motivational interviewing (MI) into my practice has profoundly influenced both my therapeutic approach and the outcomes for my clients, especially those grappling with addiction and recovery. MI, as a counseling style, offers a powerful toolkit for fostering change by tapping into the client's own motivations and values.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I have found Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to be an exceptionally effective approach, especially when time or resources are limited. This method aligns seamlessly with my goals to provide focused, efficient, and client-centered care. From my perspective, there are several key benefits to integrating SFBT into my practice, particularly when addressing the diverse needs of individuals seeking mental health support.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

Incorporating Person-Centered Therapy (PCT) into my counseling practice has been a transformative experience, both for me as a counselor and for the individuals I have the privilege of supporting. Developed by Carl Rogers, PCT is predicated on the belief in the human potential for growth, change, and maintaining a positive forward direction in life. This approach resonates deeply with my own values as a counselor, emphasizing the importance of providing a therapeutic environment characterized by unconditional positive regard, empathy, and congruence. Reflecting on my journey with PCT, several key benefits stand out, shaping my therapeutic engagement and enhancing the quality of care I provide.

Cognitive Processing (CPT)

Implementing Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) into my practice has significantly enhanced my ability to assist clients, particularly those struggling with the aftermath of trauma and PTSD. This evidence-based approach has provided me with a structured yet flexible framework to help clients process their traumatic experiences and challenge and modify unhelpful beliefs related to the trauma. Reflecting on the integration of CPT into my therapeutic repertoire, I've identified several key benefits that have not only enriched my professional practice but have also profoundly impacted my clients' healing journeys.
