I am a holistic, person-centered, strengths-oriented, solution-focused provider who recognizes that multiple elements affect an individual over time. My Bachelor degree is in Psychology and my Master degree is in Social Work with experience in populations having traumatic brain injuries, severe mental health needs, and addiction challenges, among other factors. I am community oriented and enjoy meeting each person where they are, to achieve their goals, long-term.
I enjoy learning from each individual and their experience, as we all can learn something new every single day. I make a session atmosphere, accepting, safe, and relaxing, no matter what emotions are brought in. Consistency, hands-on teamwork, and resiliency are key values I bring to each situation with the recognition that each person has deep insights they can each tap into, over time, and experience healing. I also provide Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence based practice, as desired.
In the first session, I take time to let you share your goals for the therapy, while participating in a value sort activity to possibly assist in practically outlining strengths and potential aims.
