Clinical Interests:
My clinical interests center on working with individuals who have experienced trauma, with a particular focus on first responders, military service members, and veterans. I am passionate about supporting those who have dedicated their lives to serving others and who often face unique emotional and psychological challenges related to their work. My approach is grounded in trauma-focused, evidence-based practices designed to promote healing, resilience, and post-traumatic growth.
In addition to my work with first responders and military populations, I am committed to serving individuals from diverse backgrounds who are navigating the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Through a client-centered and solution-oriented lens, I aim to help each person reconnect with their strengths, build adaptive coping strategies, and restore a sense of balance and well-being in their lives.
Clinical Approach:
My clinical approach is rooted in a client-centered and solution-oriented framework. I believe that each client is the expert of their own lived experience and possesses the skills to work meaningful change in their lives. My role is to provide a safe, compassionate, and collaborative environment where clients can explore challenges, identify goals, and build/practice strategies for personal growth and healing.
I focus on empowering clients to recognize and utilize their personal resources while developing new coping skills and perspectives. My approach emphasizes respect, empathy, and authenticity, fostering a therapeutic relationship that supports self-awareness, develops resilience, and helps establish lasting positive outcomes.
Hobbies:
I enjoy spending time outdoors with my husband, creating using many forms of art, and training horses on my free time. I enjoy trying new things, going on adventures and exploring new places!
