I am an eclectic therapist, meaning I do not subscribe to any one therapeutic modality as I believe the therapeutic process is fluid and as a clinician, I must be the same. Some of the methods I love the most are the non-traditional options that lend to healing according to the patient; not necessarily what the book says. In an effort to meet my clients where they are, I will take the time needed to examine, with you, the core issues surrounding the problem and assist in developing solutions from that ground work. I specialize in healing work designed to address trauma and I work at the pace my client is able to manage. I have worked with survivors of trauma ranging from survivors of violent crime and homicide; adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse; survivors of domestic violence; rape/sexual assault and children of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. I believe the first step toward healing is in the therapeutic relationship and I work with my patients to provide an atmosphere of trust and confidentiality that assist with building the foundation for successful treatment. Should you prefer spiritual, Christian, or Faith-based counseling, I will accommodate your preference upon request. I am competent and comfortable working with the LGBTQ community and the families as well.
Some of the non-traditional therapeutic tools I enlist in my work include art, music, movement, mindfulness, sandtray, play therapy, and laughter yoga. Please contact me directly for further information and let’s schedule an appointment for a consultation.
