How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?

Congratulations on taking the bold step to healing and knowing yourself better, which leads to you feeling empowered and having more control over your life! My clinical practice is rooted in trauma-informed care with populations across the lifespan (childhood through adulthood). I possess a wide range of clinical experience, with adults experiencing severe mental health concerns, college students in multiple settings children, adolescents & families in mental health agencies and school settings. Each experience has provided me with a strong counseling skillset. I utilize person centered theory, interpersonal psychotherapy, and eco-systemic structural family therapy, and trauma-informed care. These approaches allow me to more fully understand important components of a client’s life and their impact. Unconditional positive regard and authenticity is essential to my approach as I empower and empathize with clients I will always respect, empathize, and empower clients from all cultural backgrounds. Every human is different, and their counseling plan will be tailored to who they are emotionally, socially, spiritually, ethnically, etc. If you are struggling, I aim to walk alongside you and help you to reach your goals!

My style of counseling is laid back, non-judgmental and accepting. Once we get started the initial anxiety of getting setup will ease and we can start working toward the goals that you have in mind or that I can help you find.
