My focus as a therapist has been helping clients challenge experienced traumas and working to find inner peace and healing. Treatment goals are focused on developing a better understanding of the self as a person and role in society. Clients often come to treatment seeking stability and consistency in their journey and are open to a two-way dialogue regarding their needs.
I can assist by providing individualized, trauma-informed treatment. I utilize cognitive processing therapy to help identify stuck points that interfere with day-to-day living. I offer a reflective listening style and will challenge my clients to think critically. My style is direct but warm and supportive. This is a judgment-free space focused on change.
Reaching out for assistance or opening yourself up to someone can be really intimidating and bring a lot of worries. You are in control of your treatment, your growth, and your progress. My goal is help be a guide as you walk this path. You've got the keys and the wheel, I am here to point out what's coming up ahead.

Typically I see trauma in many, if not most, of my clients and act with that in mind. Trauma can be tied to familiar issues, identity, environment, or abuse and during our initial phases the goal will be to identify what is happening and how we can address it. The goal is within the first 6 weeks to see symptoms alleviate enough identify if there may be something deeper.

Everyone's treatment looks different but often starts with foundational skills building in cognitive behavioral therapy as we establish what your needs are. CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. From there I use skills acquired to help move the narrative to achieve your goals and see meaningful change.
