I have experience providing therapy to all ages (6 to 96) & specialize in addressing trauma. I currently accept clients ages 16+. I have experience working with a wide range of challenges including Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, & Substance Use. I approach each session from a Trauma Informed & Strength’s based perspective. As a Trauma Informed clinician I work to educate clients on the complex impacts of trauma, improve boundaries, increase emotional regulation, & promote resiliency. In addition, the counseling approaches I use most with clients are Person-Centered & Strengths Based approaches. The relationship between client and therapist is the biggest predictor of success in therapy. Balancing professionalism and authenticity, I work to build a strong foundation grounded in the therapeutic relationship with all clients. Sometimes that means we laugh together, cry together, make jokes, and create a space for all of life's meaning and messes. I value empathy, use unconditional positive regard, non-judgment & congruence with each & every client. By focusing on positive attributes, clients can begin to build upon this foundation to create positive self-regard, develop healthy coping skills, & agency in all relationships
