I am a retired Navy Sailor who truly understands how both military and civilian life can bring on trauma, stress, anxiety, and depression. I have worked in the field of mental health, domestic and intimate partner violence, and sexual assault for over 12 years and hone in on how struggling with mental illness, trauma, stress, and anxiety can leave individuals feeling alone, stuck, or alienated. Understanding how self-defeating thoughts on top of the daily stressors an individual may experience as a person can be hard to manage; I inform my clients that l am here to help, support, strengthen, and navigate them to their best.
I use a variety of theoretical approaches: Anger Management Therapy, Attachment Theory, Coaching, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The theoretical philosophies used in my work are person-centered, meaning that the work will be focused on what is most important to you, the client. I remind my clients that healing is continuous.
I understand that therapy is a collaborative approach where you will receive positive warm regard and empathy. You will be in a safe place free from biases and judgments. Everyone is unique therefore the goals, strategies, skills, and techniques are designed for you as an individual. Let me know how I can support you as you start the journey to your healing.
