I am an Army brat, combat veteran , and military wife and mom. My passion for treating PTSD comes from my experiences. I have had the privilege of working with WW2, Korean War, Vietnam, Panama, Lebanon, Gulf War and OIF/OEF veterans. I also have experience working with grieving military spouses and parents. Transitioning into motherhood is one of the most amazing experiences. But it can also present challenges. I also treat Postpartum Depression.
My approach to therapy is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Theory and Cognitive Processing Therapy as my primary modality. I believe in setting clear goals and measuring the impact of our sessions over time. Cognitive Processing Therapy is structured and has been proven to work!
Clients will learn that the therapist does not have the power to heal them. The ability to heal is already inside of them. Therapy is the cast that allows the broken bone to heal. We can learn to identify thinking patterns that keep us from healing and walk away equipped to handle future challenges knowing how to utilize your own strengths and skills
