About My Clients
I know it is not easy for people to let someone into their inner world, especially when they are struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma. For this reason, I take time to build a trusting, non-judgmental and honest relationship with my clients. Through this relationship, I work to understand the client’s perspective and goals and then we can work together to identify strategies for success and possible barriers.
My Background and Approach
With over 10 years of experience working in the mental health, I bring many unique experiences to a counseling session. I have worked in schools, a psychiatric hospital, residential treatment facility, and in an out patient therapy office. I use an integrated approach and work with clients to provide education about different approaches to therapy and collaborate to find the best approach for each person. I have advanced training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)- a psychotherapy that works especially well for anxiety and depression. Additionally, I have 80 hours of training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). This approach is helpful for working through trauma and past hurts. EMDR can be done virtually and I have specific training with virtual EMDR. I have found that working through past hurts and trauma can move clients to creating a more peaceful and adaptive present and future.
