I offer an integrated approach that includes EMDR, person-centered, CBT, DBT skills, and trauma focused treatment; however, our time together is not limited to these theories of practice.
I believe everyone deserves a space to process, heal, and experience empathy and validation. Good outcomes in therapy can be expected if you feel the therapist genuinely cares and has your best interest in heart and mind. Your therapist must also have skill, knowledge, and experience with clinically proven therapy techniques. I provide both to you as my client.

How often do you find yourself struggling to spend time with friends, engage in activities you used to enjoy, or even leave your room? Do you find yourself thinking in circles, or fighting to fall asleep due to never ending thoughts? What about not recognizing yourself in the mirror, looking over your shoulder in fear? Depression, anxiety, ruminating thoughts, insomnia, hypervigilance, stress, low self-esteem. It's easy to feel overwhelmed with these experiences, thoughts, and emotions and not know where to look or turn for help.

Overall, I believe that therapy is a place to learn and heal from current and past experiences. My primary goal as a counselor is to empower and provide skills to clients to help them flourish. I see children, adolescent, and adult populations, implementing an integrative approach, with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. This means that I use many techniques and models, but I like to focus on current goals/solutions and altering unhelpful thinking patterns.

Therapy includes you and your therapist (as well as your natural supports, when possible/necessary) working closely together to help change your feelings, behaviors, and thoughts. There will be things done together during your sessions, as well as things for you to focus on and apply at home. Some changes may come quickly, but some will take more time and effort for a lasting change.

I honor your decision to seek help and it is my privilege to walk beside you on the pathway to change. I respect the vulnerability it takes to sit in the client chair and my goal is always to make the counseling process, from fee schedule to treatment plan, as transparent as possible. I can't guarantee that counseling will always be an easy process but I believe that moments of discomfort often precede the greatest change.

I work from a collaborative, non-judgmental and empathetic perspective. We may all live in the same world, but our unique individual experiences shape who we are and how we approach events in our lives. In the counseling process, I strive to create a supportive, trusting and safe therapeutic relationship through which difficult thoughts and feelings related to a person's struggles can be explored, understood, and improved. My goal is to help people gain more acceptance, happiness, peace, or content in life.
