Licensed Professional Counselor
·LPC, CRC, CADCIIIAbout
We frequently prioritize the expectations of others, neglecting our own deeply held beliefs, goals, and dreams. This can lead to a cascade of negative consequences, including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and an inability to heal from past trauma. I firmly believe in the inherent power of human potential and the vital importance of each individual discovering their unique sense of meaning and purpose in life. I'm here to support you in discovering your true self and cultivating a sense of well-being that will bring you joy and help you face life's challenges with strength and resilience. My practice incorporates Existential Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to build effective skills to navigate life. I use EMDR therapy to help you heal from negative core beliefs rooted in childhood, so you can develop a positive and empowering belief in yourself. My therapeutic style is compassionate, collaborative, and client-centered. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your inner world, gain self-awareness, and develop the tools you need. Specialties: I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan using evidenced based techniques such as CBT, DBT, and EMDR for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Call or email me to start. Credentials & Experience: As your therapist, my goal is for you to achieve your own sense of well-being: Feeling good and functioning well, experiencing positive emotions and contentment, developing your potential, having some control over your life, having a sense of purpose, and experiencing positive relationships.
"I provide cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and evidenced-based approaches to addiction treatment to help you. In our sessions, we'll explore your experiences, develop coping skills, and challenge negative thoughts. I also use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to help you heal from the emotional pain of traumatic memories."
