Welcome! It takes courage to reach out for help and I would be honored to work with you. I have over 25 years of counseling experience and enjoy working with people of varying age groups, backgrounds and cultures. My career started with working with child and adult victims of violence. I utilized play therapy and EMDR techniques to help individuals process and heal from trauma. I transitioned into working with the elderly population, helping the individual and their families work towards accepting their current physical abilities, and at times, processing end of life issues. Currently, I am working with adults to understand and utilize Cognitive Behavioral tools to help develop and accomplish their goals.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

We are all very similar, while at the same time, each of us is uniquely different. We are complex biological systems with similar needs, but we are all amazingly diverse in what we have experienced, how we process these experiences, and what gives us joy. We learn most of what we know from other people, both people of very good intentions and (at times) people who have their own wants, interests, or agendas in mind. In our therapy sessions, we'll explore what lessons you want to keep, and which lessons you want to let go of and replace. I would be so honored to guide you through this process and to witness your inevitable growth.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

Evidenced-based therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral therapy, have the easiest and most effective tools which help us make positive changes in our lives. I see our emotional health the same as our physical health- the more we exercise/practice CBT tools, the stronger we get. Once we learn these tools and build them into our daily routine we have what we need to create the life we want.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have experience helping people who are suffering from anxiety, depression and unresolved trauma. I think my biggest strength is having years of counseling experience with varied populations. School and trainings teach specific techniques and theories, but what has given me the most knowledge and expertise are all the people that I have been honored to work with over the years. I have been told that people feel safe and heard when they share their stories with me. I also love to learn and use current research/science to continue to gather information to be able to share with others.
