As a therapist, I primarily utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, choice theory, rational emotive therapy, eclectic, and other to assist consumers in meeting their individual goals. I prefer to utilize strengths-based, Christian counseling and solution-focused methods in addition to providing education, as well as teaching skills to help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Consumers can expect to complete homework between sessions to practice the skills they have learned and may be referred to additional providers as needs are identified.
Education/Specialties:
St Martins University, Lacey, Washington, MS, Education/School Counseling
Amridge University, Montgomery, Alabama, MS, Clinical Counseling
I have also completed training in techniques, for example, Motivational Interviewing, multicultural, pastoral, school counseling, etc. I have primarily worked in community mental health, inpatient mental health, inpatient chemical dependence setting, school setting, with children, teenagers, adults, and families to treat diagnoses of mood disorders: anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and other.
I am currently under supervision by (Clinical Supervisor, Alyssa Jenquin, LPC, CCTP). It may be necessary for your treatment to be discussed with and/or approved by my supervisor. A course of treatment will be determined in collaboration with you the consumer, any identified supports, and/or my supervisor as necessary.
Disclosure statements empower individuals to make informed decisions regarding their treatment. This disclosure is in addition to a copy of essential rights regarding services and a copy of Community Counseling Solutions fee/billing practices. Counselors practicing for a fee must be registered or certified with the Department of Health for the protection of the public. Registration of an individual with the department does not recognize any practice standards or imply the effectiveness of any treatment.
I have been informed of the type of counseling I will receive through Community counseling solutions, including potential methods/techniques, the clinician's education and training/experience, and the cost of counseling services. I understand that a course of treatment will be discussed with me throughout treatment, and I have the right to request a second opinion or a change in assigned counselor. I understand that my engagement in mental health treatment will have potential benefits, risks, and/or unanticipated outcomes which will be discussed with me as necessary and upon my request. I further understand I have the right to refuse treatment unless I am mandated by court order.
