How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?

Hello. Sometimes it's hard to reach out for assistance. I get that. So let's meet and figure out a plan to feel better. We can do this in person or virtually. I want to help. My schedule varies. And my office is in NW Fresno. Thank you...

Have you been meeting your goals and achieving success, but still feel unhappy and dissatisfied? Do you often feel as though you are just going through life but are not truly present savoring the day. Are you spending too much time scrolling on social media watching people’s lives opposed to living your own? Is today the day you take the first step towards getting “unstuck” and out of this rut? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are in the right place! I can help you move out of the mud and into the sunshine! You were born to thrive and enjoy life. Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. There are several options to help overcome the preverbal “icks.” Treatment philosophy: In addition to individual and couples counseling we also offer 6 week intensive programs that are specifically tailored to improve overall function and life satisfaction. The program consists of weekly one to one meetings, groups, and skills training sessions.

As a National Board Certified Counselor(NCC) since 2000, Licensed Mental Health Counselor(LMHC in FL) since 2002, and Licensed Professional Counselor(LPC in GA) since 2021, I help people by facilitating positive changes in their lives. In my own private practice, I help my clients who are dealing with depressive symptoms, anxiety, life stressors, adjustment and relationship issues by assisting them in identifying the thoughts and behaviors that are keeping them stuck(and/or preventing them from moving forward) in order to overcome struggles/obstacles and reach their full potential.  I'm currently accepting new clients for tele-therapy sessions and offering some evening and weekend hours. Please feel free to request a free 10-15 minute consultation if you have any questions or concerns. Utilizing  techniques associated with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy(DBT), Person Centered Experiential Therapy, Solution Focused, Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy(REBT), Reality Therapy, etc… I hope to provide: 1) Psychological contact including feeling like you are being heard, 2) Professionalism, 3) Unconditional Positive Regard, 4) Empathy, and  5) Genuineness.

Hi parents! I’m a in-home behavioral therapist for toddlers and preschoolers who are twice-exceptional (gifted in any realm combined with learning difference/s i.e. adhd, ASD, sensory processing sensitivity). I offer in school support and observations as well as around the clock parent and educator coaching to ensure consistent success in nourishing self-esteem, self-advocacy, and enrichment. I myself am twice-exceptional and grew up oscillating between gifted and adhd labels so deeply understand the confusion and stress this creates for both parent and child. I am passionate about meeting the unique emotional and learning needs of this population and strongly believe in intervening as early as possible to set these change makers up for a lifetime of success.
