SpecialtiesThe goal of counseling is for clients and therapist to partner, exploring ways to promote personal growth. Progress is measured as clients discover how to remove the obstacles hindering their ability to cope with life's challenges. Fortify Counseling Services strives to create a nonjudgmental environment where clients feel validated, acknowledged, and respected. Maybe it's difficult to acknowledge you could use some support. Don't let that get in the way of cultivating your most valuable resource: you. Fortify Counseling Services is ready to help you take the first step. Growth and healing are available to you right now. Why wait?

SpecialtiesI offer a broad range of counseling services through individual and group sessions based on cognitive and behavior therapy to meet the needs of a diverse client roster. Cognitive Behavior Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that can be used to address a number of mental disorders by working to change ways of thinking not constructive to solving current problems. Each modality, or method of treatment, has its own unique benefit and target clients. I specialize in EMDR and CBT therapies to help treat veterans suffering from PTSD.
