I utilize a strength based and trauma informed care approach to help my clients reach their therapeutic goals. I believe the research which states that two thirds of adults have experienced at least one Adverse Childhood Experience and that over 45% of adults have experienced at least one potentially traumatic event. I collaborate with my clients to develop an effective treatment plan designed to improve the client’s quality of life, alleviate symptoms, improve productivity, and functioning. Research shows that the therapeutic alliance is the most important element in successful treatment and as such I work hard to build a relationship based on trust, respect, and support.

 

Key interventions utilized in my practice include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Christian Counseling. The goal of therapy is not to change who you are, but to broaden your view of
who you are, taking in all the evidence to see yourself as you were created to be.
