Peak Wellness Services

I aim to provide effective, evidence-based therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and families using empathy, caring, and warmth. I work from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Rogerian perspective aiming to alleviate what may ail a client. It is my belief that by empowering my clients, they will be able to take charge of their lives. I have specific training on providing affirmative therapy for transgender youth who may be socially transitioning or looking to start hormone replacement therapy (HRT). I have earned certification in treating OCD from the International Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Foundation (IOCDF) Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI).

ONLY SEEING CLIENTS VIA TELEHEALTH AT THIS TIME

I believe that we all have within us the ability to achieve the growth and change that we desire, and will do so when we have the necessary understanding, tools, and sense of empowerment. I strive to help my clients reach their goals by providing these necessary conditions within a caring and compassionate environment. While I utilize a variety of techniques to address the individual needs of clients, my work often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rogerian, and Experiential therapy approaches. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR).

I believe that all people are capable of building the resilience and skills needed to overcome life’s challenges, achieve their goals, and make positive change. To help clients achieve their goals I provide a collaborative, positive therapeutic environment with a focus on individual strengths and resiliency. I use a variety of evidence based techniques, frequently drawing on motivational interviewing, collaborative problem solving, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), creative, and play-based approaches. Previous to private practice I worked as a school counselor for three years and am familiar with school systems and challenges.

I believe in attending a person’s needs from a strengths based perspective, and to build from those strengths throughout their journey in therapy. I believe empowering an individual in their decisions in therapy is an important and ethical part of the work. I look to utilize a variety of modalities and interventions that best fit the individual. Modalities I lean towards: DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) , TF-CBT (Trauma Focused CBT) and Somatic Therapy. I also like to use creative means of aiding you towards your goals in gaining both tools and fostering new insights. We will work together to regulate your nervous system, gain insight into all relationships, past traumas, bodily autonomy, understanding attachment, and build a life worth living. I always strive to meet you where you're at and sit alongside you in the work.

I believe that as humans, relationship is at the foundation of our being. It is through relationships that we learn about ourselves and make sense of the world around us. And even though many relationships are a source of pain, it is through relationship that we can reconnect with ourselves, rewrite longstanding narratives, and change the behavioral patterns we often find ourselves in. My style is warm, creative, relational, and strength based. I use a collaborative and integrative approach to therapy; I understand the importance of feeling secure and having healthy relationships, and I will seek to foster an environment of acceptance with my clients. I draw mainly from person-centered, interpersonal, and attachment theory to recognize how early attachments are playing out in current relationships, and help the client move toward an integrated life, and occasionally use DBT and CBT interventions. I have clinical experience working in university settings and community mental health. While I work with a multitude of mental health symptoms, my passions include relationship issues, trauma and post-trauma recovery, learning disabilities, family of origin issues, grief/loss, as well as depression and anxiety.

I believe that through life, there are times where we stray away from “the path”. No matter the reason, my goal is to build the therapeutic rapport needed with clients to establish the foundation for them to keep moving forward. My hope is for all clients to have a space where they can gain insight and awareness about themselves and their journey. I am committed to helping others connect to their core selves. Some of the interventions I tend to utilize during counseling are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), along with viewing situations from a trauma informed and person centered lens. I have experience working within the foster care system, and also have a background in school counseling. Never fear the possibility of your life’s onward trajectory; trust the process!
