Counseling
As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), I provide counseling services with sincerity, compassion, and integrity. Counseling is not a one-size-fits-all service - I'm here to help you find what you're looking for in your therapy work with highly individualized counseling services tailored uniquely to you, your needs, and your wishes for your therapy.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Trained in Psychodynamic therapy through Northwestern University, I often integrate this approach into my talk therapy. Rooted in Psychoanalysis, this insight-oriented approach is excellent for deep self-reflection, one of the necessary ingredients to successful psychotherapy and counseling services.
EMDR & Trauma-Focused Therapy
I knew early in my counseling career that I was called to work with trauma. I am impassioned to help hurting people who are moving through their lives with emotional wounds that won't seem to heal. Utilizing either trauma-focused talk therapy or EMDR, I want to help you heal those stubborn emotional pains and symptoms that have been troubling you.
Military, Veterans & First Responders
While I come from a military family, and am a military spouse myself, my experience with military and veterans extends into my counseling career. Being a battalion - embedded therapist with the Marines and Sailors of SOI-E for two years, and having volunteered with various veterans mental health associations, I have a unique perspective on the intersection of the military community and their mental health. I've also enjoyed providing counseling services to law enforcement, firefighters, and other emergency responders.
Sexual trauma
Sexual trauma is much more common than many people may think, and it impacts individuals in virtually all of our communities. Through my trauma-focused counseling work, I have spent hundreds of clinical hours working with survivors of sexual trauma, including sex abuse, sexual assault, and sexual trauma caused by family members. I have also obtained additional training in working with sexual trauma through the Modern Sex Therapy Institute.
