My Specialties
I have experience counseling in many different therapeutic settings. Throughout my career I realized my strength areas are related to issues surrounding grief and loss, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Major Depressive Disorder. I work with adolescents and adults.
Grief and Loss
Have you experienced a significant loss in your life? Do you feel this loss is causing impairment in multiple life settings? Feeling like you can't move on with your life without that missing loved one? Know you are not alone! I am so sorry you have to walk this path of grief. It can be messy, abrupt, and confusing. While working with me in therapy, I can help educate you on the norms of grief, assist you in processing the wide range of emotions you may be experiencing, and help make new meaning to your life since the loss.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Has a traumatic experience occurred in your life? Feel as if you have been avoiding people, places, and activities that may cause you to have intrusive thoughts, flashbacks and involuntary memories? Therapy can help you feel more in control over your emotions. Help foster and maintain healthy relationships, and assist you in building ways to cope with unexpected triggers. In a nut shell, it can allow you to feel you have more control over your life.
Depression
Feelings of sadness, lack of motivation and worthlessness can have significant impairment on relationships, family dynamics, and work productivity. Usually, symptoms of depression do not come from "out of nowhere." If you chose to work with me, I can help you identify where these depressive symptoms stem from, learn about the importance of having purpose in your life, and help you advocate for your needs.
