About My Clients
My experience has involved working with individuals who have experienced traumatic life events, significant and chronic stressors, complicated losses and bereavement, and adversity directed at oneself or their loved ones. As such, I am able to offer care to address issues of anxiety, depression, bereavement, moral injury, betrayal, and relationship issues. My background in public service has allowed me substantial training and skills in the provision of a wide range of therapy models.
My Background and Approach
I have completed over 20 years in public service with experience in both Department of Defense and Veterans Healthcare Administration positions providing care to active duty service members and military Veterans along with their families. My approach involves first developing a contextual understanding of your life experiences, your values/dreams, and barriers you have encountered to feeling self-fulfillment. Once I feel I have a working understanding, I will share with you my perspective and listen as to whether this fits for you. My competence involves significant training and practice in a range of therapy models including Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical Behavior (DBT), Interpersonal Psychodynamic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness Based therapies. I am a Level 2 iRest (c) practitioner which is a trauma-informed meditation practice.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that you already have the inner wisdom to know what you value and want in your life. In therapy, I will help you compassionately examine and understand patterns you have developed that no longer serve you. We can work together to curate a path forward in the direction of your personal values, strengths, and dreams. My expertise has been providing compassionate and collaborative therapy with individuals who have experienced traumatic life events, bereavement, and/or prolonged stress. My passion is for working with individuals who have experienced trauma and/or prolonged stress who would like to discover their own voice and carve an empowered path forward.
