I have conducted trauma therapy in group and individual settings. I'm knowledgeable on how trauma can impact a person's sense of safety, relationships, and emotional responses. I help clients to better understand how trauma manifests in their body. I have experience working with individuals who have experienced physical/sexual abuse, domestic violence, assault, and emotional neglect. You can't control the ways in which you've been hurt, but you can control how you grow and move forward.

I am a credentialed alcohol and substance abuse counselor (CASAC). I previously worked as an addictions counselor in an inpatient rehab setting. Through this work, I became knowledgeable about sobriety programs and the impact addiction can have on an individual and their loved ones. I believe in a trauma-informed model of recovery. I enjoying working with people in early recovery and identifying their strengths as a human being.

CBT is at the core of my treatment. I guide clients in identifying distressing thought processes and evaluating their impact on a client's behavior. CBT can be used to improve autonomy and increase understanding of how certain thoughts and behaviors developed. I believe that our inner dialogue shapes our identity. Identifying tangible goals helps clients stay motivated and redefine their perception of change.

As a credentialed alcohol and substance abuse counselor, I enjoy working with clients who are interested in learning more about sobriety, processing ambivalence, and maintaining long term recovery. It's normal to make many attempts at sobriety before finding success. I provide a nonjudgemental space for clients to find support in processing victories and setbacks. Trauma informed care helps identify experiences that motivated their addiction.

Divorce, moving homes, and becoming a new parent are just a few factors that can contribute to family conflict. I offer services to adults and children over the age of 12. I provide a space to validate your feelings and experiences before identifying realistic solutions to conflict. My approach prioritizes anger management and communication skills. Enforcing reasonable boundaries works to establish clear expectations of family members while leaving room to express appreciation.

Death is a universal experience. I have provided grief counseling in group and individual settings. Experiencing the death of a loved one can be extremely uncomfortable, and can drastically change a person's belief system. My approach to grief incorporates themes of spirituality and role restoration. I assist clients in processing complex emotions and fears associated with death, and honoring the person that passed away. Grief can be isolating, but there is hope at the end of the tunnel.
