Anna Freud stated, "Creative minds have always been known to survive any kind of bad training" and Laura Ingalls Wilder stated that, "A good laugh overcomes more difficulties and dissipates more dark clouds than any other one thing". Counseling with me provides individuals with a sense that they can move beyond whatever barriers they are facing.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma Based-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TB-CBT) to counsel children, adolescents, adults, families, & couples working with diagnoses like depression, anxiety, ADHD, stress, trauma/abuse (physical and sexual), domestic violence, spontaneous grief /loss, relationship difficulties, & parenting concerns or difficulties. Additionally, I'm an OCD specialist who utilizes Exposure Response Prevention, the gold standard in OCD Treatment.
Individuals working with me seek to feel confident applying new and improved coping and communication skills developed in our sessions into their lives. My goal is to empower clients to be able to use their improved skills in the world ASAP.
