About me
Your Journey is Yours to Tell. It is important to me that your voice is heard when telling your truth. I am a firm believer that you are the expert of your own life. We will work together to create a plan based on your identified needs and goals. I am not here to tell you how to move forward, but rather joining you on your journey of re-inventing and re-structuring yourself. I desire to push you out of your comfort zone yet within your safe zone. Your desire to alter your current state of mind will be the driving force through treatment.
I have approximately 10 years of experience in working with individuals, who have experienced traumatic event(s) in their lives, anxiety, depression, sexual and physical abuse, sexually reactive behaviors, crisis response, self-harming behaviors, family relationships, life transitions, and other life changing events or symptoms that may follow.
In working with these life challenges. I use a multitude of approaches determined by your need, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, play therapy, TF-CBT, FST (Family Systems Trauma), and other modalities. You show great strength in seeking support and help, I look forward to traveling through your journey side by side with you.
