I am a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor in Washington and Colorado. I come from a strong military family and have been in the active duty military spouse role for the past 17 years. My personal and professional experiences have afforded me the skillset to pursue my passion of helping people in uniform maintain health and balance while serving. I have worked with and connected with people from all specialties within our defense system.
My specialties include trauma and PTSD treatment for military and law enforcement with a particular specialty in military war trauma, to include service members involved in missions within the Global War on Terrorism: Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Afghanistan Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom; Vietnam and The Gulf War.
I utilize multidisciplinary methods of western and eastern approaches such as EMDR, prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy with existential, meditative and mindfulness based philosophies. I work extensively with trauma processing for law enforcement, offering post critical incident counseling, PTS treatment and acute stress response management.
I work best with clients that are ready and willing to work on their challenges and face their issues directly. I am an assertive and discerning therapist that values the connection with my client. one of my paramount priorities is building a trusting and safe relationship with positive rapport. my secondary goal is to provide guidance back to your individual sense of strength and balance. I ask that my clients commit to the therapeutic process, cooperation and engagement is vital to our work together.
I do not specialize in all issues involving mental health. If I identify that I am not the right fit for what you are dealing with, then i will do my best to help you find someone that is.
