About My Clients
I work with military members & their family members on the unique challenges of military life. I also work with first responders & medical professionals to address issues unique to their professions such as trauma, perfectionism, and insomnia. Additionally, those who have experienced trauma, struggle with PTSD, anxiety/depression,suicidal ideation & self harm. Cognitive Behavioral frameworks can assist in processing traumatic events, reducing symptoms, and improve coping and regulation.
My Background and Approach
Counseling is a collaborative process centered around the client. The role of the counselor is directed by each client and their unique needs and goals. I aspire to create a safe place where clients may explore the many facets of their lives, resolve problems, answer questions, face their fears, and build sustaining connections that will carry them through life and whatever challenges they may face. I believe in a client centered approach, identifying and working on the issues that are most important to them. I am well versed in several therpeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT and CBT-I), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I always work with a trauma informed perspective regardless of the presenting issues.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in helping those who wish to address the challenges they face in their lives; those who are seeking to change and invest in themselves to heal, grow, build, and fully engage in their lives in the way that best serves themselves and those around them. I grew up in a military family, and support those who serve/have served in the Armed Forces and their loved ones. Military life presents so many unique challenges and experiences it can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate. First reponders such as police, firefighters, EMTs and medical personnel often come from a military background and/or share similar challenges such as the potential for trauma, the need for resiliency and positve self care and coping. It is important to me to offer competent care to those who serve.
