Therapists » Licensed Professional Counselor
My focus is to help individuals and families achieve the stability and the level of functioning that they desire through helping decrease symptoms and strengthen relationships with others. I am a strong believer in the power of the counselor and client relationship. The counseling relationship provides a safe environment, free from judgment, which allows a person to address challenges from the past or present with the ability to write a new ending. Through the counseling relationship an individual can become empowered to overcome any challenge by reaching a healthy point of self-acceptance. I have experience working with all age groups and with a variety of mental health issues, including depression and other mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, behavioral problems and people adjusting to life changes of all types including career-related issues, divorce, marital conflict,loss of a loved one, etc. My skill set includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered approaches. I am also a certified Cognitive Processing Therapy provider which is structured treatment focused on reducing the impact of Post Traumatic Stress symptoms.
