I am a mature therapist who brings life experience and professionalism to the people I serve. I have worked with people impacted by trauma, substance abuse, mental health challenges, and adoption. I want to provide a setting where people can feel safe enough to be authentic and free to participate in the therapeutic process.
I have learned that people present themselves uniquely. I strongly believe that, regardless of the therapeutic approach agreed on, the therapeutic relationship is the greatest determinant of change. Mutual respect is necessary for meaningful change to occur.
I use multiple approaches: EMDR allows the patient to confront difficult life circumstances. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) helps patients identify how thinking errors impact beliefs and subsequent behavior.
