Our Providers

I specialize in adult individual therapy. I am considered a trauma counselor,however, I have extensive background knowledge working with military spouses,geriatrics, change of life including empty nesting, switching careers, infertility. Iam CBT based, however, I have received feedback that I am humanistic in style andI tend to focus on existentialism philosophy(heavy focus on goals). I havereceived training in Emotion Focused Therapy and will switch from the top-down tobottom-up exploration if the client is not able to work from the CBT perspective. Imaintain certifications in trauma focused CBT, de-escalation management,and multicultural disaster crisis response. 

I also have a certification in psychologicalfirst aid. My approach to working with clients tends to be meeting the client wherethey are, psychoeducation to promote understanding and normalizing theirexperiences. I am a collaborative therapist who focuses on building rapport andsafe space; and goal oriented. What is unique about my work is the collaborationand adjusting my style to the strengths of the client. I am not locked into atherapeutic modality. 

When working with me it would be important for the clientto know that I am collaborative and will hold the client accountable in order toreach the goals that they have decided for themselves. I will not tell a client whatthey need to do, rather will help a client figure out what it is that they would liketo work on. Therapy is about work and focusing on change, not a place to dumpand run. I am not that type of therapist.
