I believe the therapist–client relationship is the foundation of successful therapy. A positive, trusting connection is essential for growth and healing. 

I am a trauma-informed, person-centered therapist who tailors interventions to each client’s goals, preferences, and needs. I am trained and qualified in several evidence-based approaches, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD (CPT)

• Motivational Interviewing (MI)

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

• Internal Family Systems (IFS)

• Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)

I can integrate concepts from these approaches in flexible, less structured ways to best meet each client’s needs.

My background includes working with individuals experiencing trauma-related challenges (including PTSD) as well as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, adjustment problems, and relationship issues. Other areas of experience include working with Veterans and providing faith-based counseling. For clients who wish, I welcome the integration of Christian or spiritual beliefs into the therapeutic process.
