LMHC, 24 years of experience
I have worked as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for the past 24 years with a background in Creative Arts Therapies using Dance/Movement and Drama as therapeutic tools. For the past twelve years, I have had the pleasure and honor of working with Active Duty Service Members and their families in the USA and Europe. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship & parenting issues, as well as addiction recovery issues. I have helped individuals and couples who have experienced trauma and abuse. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, honesty and compassion. I believe it is important to support each individual's creativity and spontaneity to find viable solutions to life issues and ultimate goals! My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment goals to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
