I utilized IFS, CBT, DBT, Emotion-focused and Experiential methods in my approach.
I love to help clients identify and break harmful patterns of behavior and work towards a healthier, more sustainable, balance that improves their lives. My style is compassionate, yet direct and transparent. I see problematic behaviors as coping mechanisms for underlying stressors/emotional experiences that need processing. I have extensive experience working with clients with eating disorders and addictions. As a former HS teacher, I enjoy working with young adults. I believe that relationships heal. In every case, I consider clients' contexts, which have great impact on their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Mindfulness practice is built-in to my approach.

I work from a strengths-based perspective and incorporate pieces of DBT (for dialectical thought & behavior), CBT (for connecting thoughts and actions and challenging them), MI (for meeting you where you are at and rolling with you), and ACT (for understanding how to separate thoughts from self & discern core values).
Reaching out for support can feel daunting and intimidating and I want to help you feel as comfortable as possible throughout the process. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions and not worrying if you are doing something right or wrong or if it's too soon or too late to ask any questions. I strive to be empathetic and understanding of people and how we show up daily—no judgments, no dumb questions...just non-judgmental support because that’s what we all deserve.

I utilize theories of cognitive development along with tools from cognitive behavioral and rational-emotive therapies.
I began my career in mental health and addictions counseling in 1992. Since that time, I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, ranging from rural community clinics and hospitals to managing clinics in urban communities. I've directed an international employee assistance program, worked in university counseling centers, and developed and managed treatment programs for executives and professionals. The populations I have served have been just as varied—they include individuals dealing with addictions (both substance abuse and behavioral), mental health issues, families, adoption, indigent persons, athletes, executives

The modes of therapy I use include insight-oriented therapy, CBT and DBT.
Life can be challenging, and most of us need help at one time or another. I offer a safe place to process thoughts and feelings, a place to be heard and understood - an experience that is increasingly rare in our modern, fast paced lives. Taking time to explore your interior world can be a tremendous opportunity for growth in your own sense of well-being and in your relationships with others. I enjoy working with adults and children, couples and families, focusing on your personal challenges and empowering you to find a way to meet your goals.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative effort between client and therapist. While I may share some evidenced-based ideas during our sessions, only you are the expert on what works for you. My sessions will generally follow a cognitive behavioral approach, meaning that we will examine, and possibly shift, your thoughts and perspectives on life situations that are causing you enough distress to want to pursue change. Together we will form a plan of action that is the right fit for you at this point in time.

My approach to treatment is eclectic, and I utilize treatment strategies from Cognitive Behavioral, ACT/DBT, Gestalt, and Psychodynamic theories in psychology.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and based on respect and empathy. My goal as a clinician is to help people learn how to be self-reliant and acquire the life skills and insight that will enable them to reach their personal goals. I help people understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors shape how they see themselves and engage in the world around them so that they can confidently navigate their lives. I’m sensitive to and respectful of people from various cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds.

Bragg then the Fayetteville VAMC seven years ago. I see adults with a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, life transitions, managing medical challenges, and relationship problems.
