About Me
Through my own experience as a client, I have come to believe in the healing qualities of the therapeutic relationship. In addition to my training, I also bring life experience which I use to try to understand your unique perspective. I offer a non-judgmental and safe place for you to explore your own inner wisdom. I work to help you draw on your own inner strengths to overcome adversities and thrive in life. I believe in the innate value of all people and want to help individuals and couples heal from past wounds, build stronger relationships and achieve their best lives. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II- Complex Trauma (CCTP-II). I utilize evidenced-based and practical techniques to get the most out of our time together. I specialize in PTSD and complex trauma and work with individuals and couples within this population.
Education & Experience
I am trained in EMDR, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Progressive Counting (PC) and all three levels of Gottman Method Couple's Therapy. I am a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) who has been practicing yoga and meditation for over 20 years. I integrate these modalities into therapy as well. I hold a Masters of Arts in Professional Counseling and a Bachelors in Business Administration in Computer Information Systems.
