My personal theoretical foundation is not limited to one approach. I believe it is necessary for counselors to be adaptive. Every client is different and our responses and approaches should be equally diverse. One person may need a cognitive behavioral approach whereas another would be more responsive to brief counseling. This eclectic approach will be applied to all clients. Techniques will vary between clients to best meet the individual client's needs.
I specialize in trauma and PTSD. I offer EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy to address client's needs in a personalized and productive manner. I am here to help in a way that is productive and healing to you!
You've already taken one of the hardest steps - looking for a counselor. Your mental health is important! Acknowledging this and working towards growth and healing is good, hard work. I look forward to working alongside you on this journey as you learn, grow, heal, and work towards a better tomorrow.
