I approach the therapeutic relationship from an integrative perspective viewing each person as uniquely created with individual experiences, goals, challenges, hopes, and dreams. My foundation is person-centered, and I place primary emphasis on creating and developing a therapeutic alliance. I believe it is of utmost importance to create a safe, open, and honest environment to foster a professional relationship built on trust. Each person’s individual life experience influences who they are today and with this perspective we gain insight into where we came from and can focus on where we want to go.My focus leans towards the realms of cognitive behavioral therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy informed by trauma, attachment, narrative, existential and reality. I specialize in the areas of adult, individual counseling, trauma, Cognitive Processing Therapy, grief, suicide loss survivor support, and suicide prevention/postvention community education.I look forward to hearing your unique, individual story and working together as fellow travelers in a therapeutic alliance. I encourage you to reach out anytime and begin a new chapter with a mindset of discovering a path to growth and healing.
