I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience in assisting adults, adolescents, couples and families with life, work and relationship issues. While the decision to enter therapy occurs at a difficult time, once you realize that most issues are simpler than they first appear, the experience can be transformative.
Although my primary training Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), everyone is unique and I borrow freely from humanistic, psychodynamic and family systems approaches. But regardless of individual modalities lasting change is a product of significant self-appraisal within the context of a supportive and compassionate relationship.
D. A. Jopp & Associates has 8 years of experience working with hospital, corporate and law enforcement agencies providing front line staff with training focused on improving service towards persons with mental illness and disabilities through stigma reduction and scientifically based educational modules.
My motivation to pursue this field stems from a childhood influence. Our next-door neighbor was a social worker, and I remember her as a kind, warm person who always had an ear to listen. At the age of 13, I decided I wanted to enter the same profession. When I work with clients, I strive to provide that same warmth and security, allowing them to share their life experiences openly. I believe the patient-therapist relationship is crucial to effective therapy.
Many individuals struggle with life in general, feeling overwhelmed and challenged in numerous ways. They often feel out of touch with themselves and lack a sense of purpose. Additionally, many are dealing with anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma.
I believe there is great power in being heard. This can lead to a better understanding of oneself, the ability to change, and the gift of acceptance.
I am dedicated to meeting clients where they are, offering a warm and collaborative approach as we work together to understand their unique needs and identify any barriers to progress. My therapeutic practice integrates a variety of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Positive Psychology, Exposure Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Approaches. With extensive experience in crisis intervention and outpatient services, I focus on empowering clients by providing the tools and support they need to navigate life's challenges and make lasting changes.
I believe in building strong, trusting relationships with my clients and creating a safe, supportive space where growth and healing can occur. My approach is always individualized, ensuring that the therapy process is tailored to meet the unique needs of each person.
