LMFT, 30 years of experience
New to Grow
Please see my website: Mellotherapy.net. I provide more detailed information there. I have been a licensed clinician for about 30 years, but before that I was in business and also taught for several years. I have also run small businesses, so this added experience is helpful to my clients. I try to help clients focus on their strengths while they are working on their issues.
The first session allows me to start to get to know the client, including why they are seeking counseling.
I am very solution-oriented. I also try to bring in complementary approaches, as appropriate.
I see a wide variety of clients: people struggling with anxiety or depression, couples wanting to repair their relationship, and first responders/veterans dealing with PTSD.
I use a mixture of cognitive behavioral and solution focused treatment. I also focus on positive and strength-based approaches. I work a lot with PTSD and am trained in EMDR, brain spotting, and EFT.
