My Ideal Client

I work with adults on a wide range of issues, predominantly treating mood disorders, addiction, self image issues, self-destructive behaviors, severe persistent mental illness, and trauma recovery. While diagnostic assessment is an important step in treatment, I do not lose sight of individual differences and work with each client to tailor treatment to their unique experiences, skills, and needs.

My Approach to Helping

My practice, Cloud Garden Counseling, is rooted in resiliency of human spirit and the power of the therapeutic process to inspire and support change. With a broad foundation in evidence-based practices and trauma-informed care, I use an integrative and creative approach to individualized care. I utilize cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies (CBT and DBT) along with emotion-focused, and intuitive applications of narrative therapy and parts work to support clients in gaining new coping tools and a deeper understanding of themselves. Together we work to reach personal goals, strengthen support, and overcome old patterns and harmful influences. With this client-centered and strength based approach we can forge a path to understanding the influences that act upon you and the power you have to re-story you own life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a trauma survivor and person in recovery, my belief in our power to grow, heal, and change is deeply tied to personal experience. Since childhood I have relied heavily on storytelling and artwork to overcome difficulties and deepen my understanding of self and others. Writing and illustration remain steadfast tools and add great joy to my life inside and outside the therapy room. Though art and writing do not always come into therapy, I enjoy when the use of metaphor or visual expression joins naturally with other therapy tools.

Techniques I Use

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • PTSD External link

    I work from a trauma-informed perspective, utilizing DBT, CBT, and narrative tools to address symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Complex Trauma. I work with clients to build awareness of the origins of trauma, identify trauma responses, maladaptive beliefs, and harmful relationship patterns. Throughout this process clients develop new coping skills and more adaptive ways of responding in relationships and to the world around them.

  • ADHD External link

    My background in diagnostics and clinical assessment along with my own experience living with ADHD allow me to work well with clients seeking help for this disorder. After establishing a diagnosis and coordinating care with other health professionals, I we work to identify areas where ADHD symptoms are impacting life, such as relationships, self care, or school/work performance. Together we can find the behavioral and cognitive interventions that best fit their needs and learning style.

  • Drug Dependence / Abuse / Addiction External link

    I have worked with addiction as a counselor in day treatment and intensive outpatient programs, as a sober living house manager, street outreach and community level support. Understanding the biological bases and the disease model of addiction, as well as the spiritual and personal consequences. I am competent and comfortable working within the 12-step modality but also familiar with alternative recovery models. My intention is always to seek individual truth and find what works for each client.

  • Depression External link

    I have over ten years experience working from a trauma-informed perspective and utilizing DBT, CBT, and narrative tools to address the symptoms of unipolar and/or bipolar depression.

  • Anxiety External link

    I have over ten years experience working from a trauma-informed perspective and utilizing DBT, CBT, and narrative tools to address the symptoms of anxiety.
