Therapy & Leave of Absence (FMLA) Support

Trauma & PTSD

Painful and traumatic experiences can leave lasting emotional wounds. Feelings of anxiety, fear, and hopelessness may continue long after the event. Through therapy, you can receive support, understanding, and guidance as you work through grief and move toward healing.

Depression & Anxiety

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, you can recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.

Leave of Absence (FMLA) Evaluations

Mental health conditions are medical conditions, and in some cases, symptoms can significantly impact a person’s ability to function at work. I offer assessment and documentation support for individuals seeking Leave of Absence (LOA) or Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) paperwork related to mental health concerns.

This service includes a comprehensive clinical assessment to evaluate symptom severity, functional impairment, and diagnostic criteria. If symptoms meet the criteria for a clinically impairing mental health condition, I can complete the required LOA or FMLA documentation.

Following the assessment, a personalized treatment plan is developed to support symptom reduction and functional improvement. Treatment typically includes weekly individual therapy sessions focused on evidence-based strategies to decrease symptom severity, improve coping skills, and support a successful return to work when appropriate.

Please note that completion of LOA or FMLA paperwork is based on clinical findings and professional judgment, and documentation cannot be guaranteed prior to assessment.

Support for Work and School Accommodations

I provide clinical assessment and documentation support for workplace and academic accommodations related to mental health conditions. Following a comprehensive assessment, I evaluate how symptoms impact functioning in work or school settings. When criteria are met, I can provide documentation recommending reasonable accommodations to support performance, access, and well-being. Recommendations are based on clinical findings, functional limitations, and professional judgment and are developed alongside an individualized treatment plan.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Trauma gets stored in our mind and body. As a result, you may experience physical and mental symptoms because of the trauma you experienced. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is one of the most effective treatments for trauma. It can help you rewire the connection between thoughts and emotions, which allows you to reprocess a traumatic event so you no longer have the same reaction. If you're ready to live less burdened by trauma, schedule a consultation, and we can discuss the next steps.

I support clients who experience a variety of issues, including:

○ life transitions

○ depression

○ psychosis

○ borderline personality disorder (BPD)

○ trauma

○ ADHD

○ issues at work and school

○ career

○ family dynamics

○ suicidal ideations

Certain approaches to therapy are better suited for specific issues. Likewise, some people naturally resonate with some approaches more than others. I have training in multiple treatment modalities, allowing me to adapt my approach to your needs.

I have training in the following:

○ dialectical behavior therapy

○ cognitive behavioral therapy

○ cognitive behavioral therapy for psychosis

○ motivational interviewing
