Therapist Overview
Not currently taking new clients. I believe that each individual has strength and ability to meet their therapeutic goals. I have 10+ years experience working with adults and children who’ve experienced early childhood trauma. I use an attachment focus understanding that trauma in the early years has a life-long impact on health and well-being. My experience and training include play therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, family therapy, and one on one counseling. I use a cognitive behavioral approach, EMDR, motivational interviewing and therapeutic techniques to promote healing and progress towards client driven goals. The (ACE’s) Adverse Childhood Experiences study provides evidence of long-term health effects from exposure to trauma as a young child. I have had success with clients in reducing the symptoms related to these early experiences. I am a Christian and can bring that perspective into the counseling relationship when appropriate and requested by the client.
