About My Clients

I have experience with a wide range of clients and have enjoyed my experiences with all of them. I have training in working with the Birth to 5 population, especially those that have been exposed to trauma. I also have a lot of experience working with those who have or are currently struggling with substance use issues and I have extensive 12 step knowledge. I have a passion for working with grief and loss, life transitions and self esteem issues in both children and adults.

My Background and Approach

My approach uses a variety of different trauma informed modalities including CBT, Narrative Therapy, Positive Psychology to name a few. I am very strengths based in my approach and believe you have all the tools and skills you need to be successful with my job being to help you pull them out and become familiar with how to use them again. I have training in several different practices including Child Parent Psychotherapy, Parent Child Interaction Therapy, Incredible Years and Triple P. I am also trained in the Trauma Resiliency Model, EMDR (trained in Wk1), Seeking Safety, Motivational Interviewing and Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 1 and 2. I also consistently continue to seek out trainings, books and courses to help me continue to learn and grow within this field.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I would love to say that I am a completely blank slate but I know that isn’t true. I understand that my own personal beliefs are something that will always be present and it is my responsibility to understand how that may influence every person I come in contact with. The one thing I am sure of is I am always learning and working on trying to grow into the type of person that the world and others need. I work very hard to stay open minded and allow for space for people to be exactly who they are, even if that is different from who I am. I am always open to discuss how I can improve and hope that any client I work with now or in the future can recognize that my intentions are always good and I am open to learning how to support all people in the ways that feel safest for them. I am and always will be in the pursuit of trying to learn on my own and through others how to be and do better.
