You have taken the first step on your mental health journey. That is something to be proud of. I hope you will allow me to assist you in obtaining the skills necessary to manage the challenges that daily life and past events can cause. I have over 22 years of experience helping others gain skills to manage the hardships of life. My mission is to facilitate personal growth through healing, to assist in finding balance, setting and meeting goals, and exploring ways to cope. I work collaboratively with clients to help them obtain the empowerment, skills, and techniques required to gain better control over how they manage their lives.
I have worked with clients of all ages (8-64) and have years of experience treating diagnoses of depression, anxiety, impulse control disorders, oppositional defiance, adjustment issues, PTSD, and abuse/trauma. I utilize evidence-based modalities that include Brainspotting, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I hope you will allow me to assist you on the path to your future.
