I have been a therapist for over 20 years and have experience in many different areas of life, working within the medical industry as well as substance abuse treatment and schools. I prefer to work with adult individuals who are ready to look at what is holding them back from creating the life they want. I create a safe space to explore the areas of your life that are making it hard for you to live authentically.
I believe that you are the expert on your life, but may not have the tools to create lasting change. I use every treatment modality I have learned over the course of my career to help my clients learn new skills: Motivational Interviewing, CBT, Narrative Therapy, ACT as well as Brainspotting and Lifespan Integration. The last two being treatment modalities for trauma recovery.
The initial session with me will be the intake session where I get a feel for the big picture of your life: Where are you struggling and where are you thriving. Who are your supports, what was your family life growing up. I'll ask about your health and your relationships. It's pretty comprehensive. Through this session we will get a feel for each other and how we can work together.
