Greetings! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been working with individual adults as a private practitioner for two years. For fifteen years, I have worked in schools as a counselor for young people, school staff, and family members.
My philosophy of therapy is all about building a solid relationship with you. You will need to feel you can trust me first. I also believe that each person holds their own answers to life’s questions. You have the wisdom and strength inside of you to know what to do. The process of therapy is just one way to help you discover more of what will work for you.
I have been trained in several modalities of therapy that I use on a regular basis including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My training has been and continues to be focused on complex trauma and PTSD. It is meant to help you live life more fully and in the way you really want to. I balance creating an environment where you have choices with giving you structure and feedback along the way.
Trying therapy for the first time takes courage. It can also be hard if you have tried therapy in the past and didn’t have a good experience. People are different, so not every therapist or type of therapy will fit the best for every person. You will know what is best for you and I will always respect your right to choose that.
Please feel free to reach out and let me know if you are interested in working together!
