Highlights

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Clients can expect to be seen, heard, validated, and comforted in their sessions with me. I want clients to know that they should "come as they are" to their counseling sessions with me because I will meet them where they are and help them get to where they want to be. I am most excited to work with clients who are hurting and nothing else they have tried has worked. The one thing I wish that all clients knew is that nothing stays the same and this too shall pass. I also believe that my clients possess more inner strength and resilience than they realize. I can promise my clients that I will always be respectful, genuine, non-judgmental, compassionate, and be a really good listener. I will provide psychoeducation and coping skills as I walk the journey with you out of your deepest pain and into healing and wholeness.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I utilize both traditional therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, existential therapy, rational emotive therapy, and non-traditional therapies, such as, art therapy, play therapy, sand tray therapy, somatic experiencing, and equine-assisted psychotherapy, into my practice, as appropriate. I truly tailor the therapeutic methods I use in sessions around your needs and the goals we create together for your therapy. I am comfortable offering the following types of therapy: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. I am currently working on my certification in Gottman Couples Therapy, EMDR, and Theocentric Psychology.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have worked with children, teens, young adults, middle-aged adults, and geriatric populations in individual therapy, career counseling, group therapy, couple’s counseling and family therapy. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, bipolar disorders, post-partum depression, sexual assault and molestation, PTSD, chronic pain/illness, medical trauma, marriage and couple’s counseling, military counseling, adjustment disorders, LGBTQ+ issues, family relationships, end-of-life issues, and prolonged grief and loss. My focus is on any client who wants and needs support, encouragement, direction in life, and self-understanding.
