Below is list of areas of expertise and counseling experience. It is not an exhaustive list. If there is something else on your mind not mentioned here, please contact me to inquire.
EMDR and
Trauma
EMDR (Eye
Movement Desensitation and Reprocessing) is a specific therapy that helps people heal from tramatic
life events. I have basic training in EMDR, completed in 2020. In our counseling sessions, I work with clients to unlock debilitating holds that trauma has on their lives.
Enneagram
I have a specialty and keen interest in the Enneagram. Throughout the counseling
process, I incorporate this personality examination into our sessions. The Enneagram helps individuals have a greater understanding of themselves and how to relate best to the persons around them.
Additionally I work with business executives, professionals, and church
leaders in helping them remain mindful of how their Enneagram type effects their workplace.
In March 2019 I received certification in the Enneagram Spectrum
Training with Dr. Jerry Wagner.
Depression
A variety of factors – including
stress, hormonal changes, trauma, medical conditions, and genetic influences – can cause depression. Depression affects people of every age and background, and can provoke jarring thoughts
and feelings within. Through psycho-education and solution-oriented therapy, I assist individuals and families who struggle
with depression.
Anxiety
Anxiety disorders are often
debilitating – socially, physically, and emotionally.
In my office, we’ll endeavor to
understand and unravel anxiety in constructive, healing ways.
Loss
Loss comes in many forms – loss of
a loved one, loss of a job, loss of a relationship, etc. I can help offer hope and healing during times of confusion through loss.
Issues of Faith and Religion in Community
I help individuals address the unique challenges they've faced within religious communities, such as emotional
and spiritual wounds, betrayal, and trauma.
