The Counseling Process
Supporting You and Your Innermost Experience
Counseling is more than just emotional help. According to research, treating mental and emotional needs improves physical health and overall wellbeing.
Reaching out for help is a huge step and can seem overwhelming…
Counseling can be a safe, supportive space to explore our trauma responses and find new ways to respond to difficult experiences. My hope is that clients gain insight, while identifying personal strengths and opportunities for growth. I encourage clients to focus on measurable goals and specific strategies to work toward their goals. My approach is trauma-informed and client-focused.
I treat clients with depression, anxiety, stress, parenting difficulties, grief and loss, trauma, relational problems, dissociative symptoms, ADHD, anger and conduct issues, and personality disorders. A diagnosis does not define someone as a person, and there is hope for treatment! I utilize EMDR Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Ego States (parts work) Interventions, and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My specialized training is trauma-informed, established on attachment theory, and includes Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) and Circle of Security Parenting (COS-P).
Counseling Services & Fees
I believe mental health services should be accessible for everyone so I reserve 25% of my client base to allow for sliding scale rates for low-income clients and hardship situations. Please inquire about special rates prior to scheduling. I do not accept insurance, but can provide documentation for clients to file on their own, depending on their coverage.
