In providing mental health care, I have gained experience with a variety of populations, situations, and backgrounds. The majority of my experience accumulated in a residential setting for children and adolescents. As a result of that experience, my practice has evolved to come from a Cognitive Behavioral base with an emphasis on practicing trauma informed care while focusing on mindfulness, being person-centered, and utilizing one’s own strengths as a source of healing.

Vonda is eclectic and uses a blend of Cognitive Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused, Reality Based, and psycho-education to individuals age eight and up.
