I have been an advocate for trauma survivors for over 20 years. With experience ranging from the front lines of trauma recovery to victim advocacy in Washington DC, my work has carried me through the road less traveled. The one feeling that has kept me going is the satisfaction that comes with compassionately collaborating with each individual and seeing them reclaim their lives.
Specialties
Accelerated Resolution Therapy
From the beginning of my career as a Crisis Counselor, I noticed the gap between survivors and effective mental health services. While Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a solid foundation, it often falls short for traumatized clients. Traditional talk therapy was helpful, but didn’t provide the full relief they needed. This is where the unique features of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) shine. ART has proven to be more effective and much faster for those with PTSD, allowing them to safely heal from troubling events with minimal distress.
Human Advocacy
Working in partnership with people who are trying to improve their life has always been a joy of mine. It is important to me that clients experience therapy with me as a partnership that empowers them to realize their inherent strengths and abilities. Just like going on a hike, I view myself as a guide who will not carry you or do the work for you, but I will be there with you every step of the way. I have worked with people from all walks of life, and I am looking forward to meeting you.
