Therapy is hard and making the decision to get help can sometimes be even harder. It is my goal to help guide you through life’s difficulties and be an extra source of support. I primarily work with substance use and psychiatric concerns. We will work together to create a plan to address your concerns, reach your goals, and help you meet your needs. Trauma is often times the root of the presenting problems my clients are seeking treatment for and addressing this can be a big step to healing. I work with adults looking to make change in their life and will walk side by side with you through the journey.

It is common to be bombarded with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings that you aren't sure how to cope with. Struggles with low self-worth, perfectionism, thoughts of suicide or self-harm, bullying or trouble with peers, destructive behaviors, and trouble communicating (or even just acknowledging) needs can feel unbearable. I want to help you face these difficulties head on and move from just keeping your head above water to thriving.

My therapy is client focused. I see them virtually. This gives them the opportunity to receive counseling at home, office or any place they have WiFi and privacy. I ask them to share why they came for counseling and listen intently in the attempt to understand their problems and why they are seeking help. Are they court ordered or did they come on their own. Then I conduct the assessment they need or a short assessment to identify their problem and focus on their issues. I assess the need for medication and recommend them if needed. My PhD is in Counseling Psychology.

Who is ABA therapy for?

ABA therapy is most widely applied to teach basic behavioral, communication, and social skills to children with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disorders. It may also be used to help people undergoing rehabilitation following brain injury. It uses reward-based learning techniques to impart essential life skills. ABA is also used in the treatment of some other conditions. One is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) , to help children overcome difficulties with concentration and controlling impulsive behaviors. For people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, it is sometimes used to help them overcome compulsive behavior. ABA therapy is also sometimes used in cases of PTSD, to help people turn to positive behaviours when they have experiences that trigger distressing memories.

Why do people need ABA?

Children with autism and other developmental disorders need ABA therapy as a way to learn how to communicate and engage with others, improve their general ability to function and lead fulfilling lives, and diminish dangerous behaviors. The techniques used in ABA therapy are based on established principles of learning, and positive reinforcement—supplying earned rewards—is an important strategy for motivating positive behaviour change.

What happens in ABA therapy?

The first thing that happens in ABA therapy is an evaluation of the child in service of developing a treatment plan. The therapist meets with the child’s parent(s) in order to learn about the family and the child, assesses the child’s behavior and ability level, and then creates a plan tailored to the specific needs of that person. Once the treatment goals are established, the skills to be learned are broken down into small, component steps. Treatment sessions focus on learning and practicing each step, and furnishing meaningful rewards as steps are learned, behaviors are spontaneously implemented, and goals are accomplished. ABA therapists also train caregivers and families so that behavioral progress occurs beyond the clinical setting.

What problems does ABA therapy treat?

One of the primary goals of ABA therapy is to decrease the outbursts and other nonproductive behaviors of children with autism. At the same time, ABA aims to remedy language deficits and help such children learn how to communicate successfully. ABA therapy helps children learn age-appropriate social skills and gain skills, such as attention and focus, that are necessary for school.
