"However small, the first step is hardest of all"
I am glad you are here taking that step. I believe that counseling is a collaborative effort between the counselor and client to create a relationship that empowers clients to accomplish their mental health and wellness goals. I believe that this can be best done through a trauma informed approach that also focuses on the mind, body, and emotions.
In session, I utilize a variety of clinical approaches including, but not limited to: Trauma Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy, and I am finishing my consultation hours to become certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I have also completed Dan Allender’s trauma focused training certification in Narrative Therapy (NFTC).
My approach contains trauma informed counseling, an open and non-judgmental space where my clients’ needs are the focus of treatment. My combination of clinical, empathetic and relational perceptions creates a powerful dynamic that encourages growth and empowerment for my clients.
