Are you longing for peace in your marriage and home? Are you exhausted from arguing and not having the connection in your marriage that you desire? Do you want to learn skills to resolve differences in a manner that calms rather than escalates your emotions? Would learning how to be united in your roles as parents help bring harmony to your home? Are you looking for a marriage counselor who is a Bible-practicing Christian? Or are you looking for individual counseling to address trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, navigating the struggles of life, or figuring out how to become happy and accepting of yourself?

Life can be meaningful and exciting, but circumstances and choices often cause problems that seem so complex there appears no way out. Though most people know deep down what they need, it sometimes takes another person to help them figure out what steps to take.

Have you been putting off therapy? Are your ways of coping no longer working? You have successfully solved other problems in your life, but this one is different. Past traumatic experiences can have lasting impact on us if we don’t work through them appropriately. These experiences can cause anxiety, shame, irritability or guilt. You might even have negative beliefs about yourself, the world or others as a result. I’m here to help you sort through your experiences. I have several years of experience helping people with anxiety, trauma (military or non-military related) or depression and am confident that you can feel better.

Have you experienced a stressful or traumatic experience that has left you feeling not like yourself? After these types of experiences, the most common thing people tell me is "I just wish I could go back to how it was before." You might be wrestling with painful memories, have difficulty connecting with others, and struggle to feel safe, both with the outside world and even yourself. These are all NORMAL reactions to difficult experiences but they do not have to be your forever. While we cannot undo the past, we can work to process and overcome these events in order to find and a path forward.

I prefer clients who are motivated and open-minded above all other qualities. I have experience working with people who have a number of varying challenges, such as trauma (all kinds), anxiety, depression, grief, family discord, communication challenges, transitions, and adjustments to significant changes. Most people have goals to feel better, to experience more joy and peace in their lives. Some have specific goals like completing a project, or test, remaining on task without anxiety, for example. Overall, anyone who seeks therapy desires help with some sort of change in their current moods, habits, or state of mind.

As humans, we are wired for connection and community. Adverse life experiences can bring us to a place of isolation and addiction. One of the greatest experiences as a therapist is watching others overcome and grow through adversity, along with the resilience it takes to do so. Maybe you feel stuck in your issues or feel unsure of the next steps.. My purpose as a therapist is to create space for you to heal and build the life you want and with acceptance that highlights your innate worth.

Cognitive Processing (CPT) Therapists
How does cognitive processing therapy work?
A CPT therapist helps a client evaluate their thoughts about the trauma they experienced, focusing on maladaptive or self-blaming thoughts that can exacerbate symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression. The therapist will work with a client to help them learn to challenge such thoughts and consider different perspectives. The therapist is also likely to ask a client to work on these techniques at home between meetings, such as writing an account of their trauma that can be read aloud during a future session.

What is cognitive processing therapy for PTSD?
Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily used in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to treat individuals who experienced abuse or violence, who survived natural disasters, who were first responders to such incidents, or who otherwise experienced trauma.

How long does cognitive processing therapy last?
CPT is a short-term therapy. Whether conducted one-on-one or in a group, a complete set of CPT sessions typically includes 12 weekly sessions, along with tasks for clients to complete at home, although this can vary depending on a client’s needs or a therapist’s particular treatment plan. Sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes.

How effective is cognitive processing therapy?
A large body of research supports the use of CPT to treat people experiencing PTSD, finding it to be effective among different age groups, either in one-on-one therapy sessions or in a group therapy environment. Research suggests that although the initial sessions may be difficult, clients tend to begin to feel positive progress after the first few sessions, and that the benefits tend to last well after the therapy ends.
