About Constellation Counseling Services
My Clients:
Diagnoses that I specialize in working with include anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, adjustment disorder, and PTSD. I have additional training and experience working with Veterans and take a trauma informed approach when working with clients. I have had extensive experience working with veterans, women working through perfectionism, and sexual assault survivors.
My Therapeutic Approach:
In case you have not gotten the gist of my style, I am a little unconventional. Our sessions are just as likely to have laughter as they are to have tears. My approach is collaborative, laid back, and humorous rather than hyper-clinical and rigid. That is not to say that we won’t be working hard. We will absolutely be working towards your goals, processing trauma, identifying stressors, and figuring out how to improve your life.
Therapeutic Modality:
I draw from Psychodynamic, Solution-Focused, Developmental, Attachment-Based, Structural family, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapies.
Therapeutic process and goals:
It is my goal to work myself out of a job. I am here to help you manage your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so that you are functioning at your optimal level. At the beginning of individual therapy, we will do an intake to determine what is bringing you to therapy, your goals, and an initial diagnosis. We will then meet regularly to continue working towards your goals. Overtime, and with progress, we will space out our session until we stop meeting or only have occasional check-ins, whichever feels better for you.
Education and experience:
I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology, and I specialized in Human Development at Roanoke College. I have a master’s degree in Family, Couples, and Marriage Counseling from William and Mary. I am a licensed professional counselor in the States of Tennessee and Virginia. I began my career working with families, children, and teens on trauma related issues. For the past 3 years I have worked with older teens and adults. specializing in working with women ages 16-40 and veterans.
