I have been in private practice since 2009, providing individual and family counseling for adolescents and adults. My counseling style is strength based and focused on finding solutions to more effectively manage life's challenges. I utilize a variety of treatment models to best meet your needs, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution-focused therapy, prolonged exposure, trauma recovery and mindfulness practices. I look forward to working with you, to address your concerns and assist you in realizing your goals, for an improved quality of life.
I have obtained certification as a first responder counselor, as well as specialized training in suicide prevention, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior prolonged exposure protocol. Working in a smaller community, I have high standards regarding confidentiality, in order to create a safe environment and protect clients.
Counseling goals are generated by you and treatment may be short or long term depending upon your needs and on decisions you make as the counseling process develops. I may offer reading recommendations, assign homework and ask you to practice new skills in and out of the office setting. I am only accepting First Responder clients at this time.

Trauma symptoms can be greatly reduced through a variety of treatment models. Some of these may include learning skills to regulate emotions and increase distress tolerance, discussing the traumatic event and engaging in new behaviors to decrease reactivity to triggers. Many clients will experience a decrease in symptoms over the first twelve to fifteen sessions.
