LPC, 33 years of experience
New to Grow
I have been professionally helping people for over 33 years. During that time I have gained a lot of experience, training and education that I put to work for you to help you get to where you want to be. I am nonjudgmental, compassionate and easy to relate to. I absolutely love what I do and my life has meaning because I see people I council get in with their life and living in healthy and meaningful ways. I am truly here for you. I could have retired a long time ago but I cannot believe that there is anything more satisfying or fulfilling than helping people when they reach out and ask for it.
The first session will be comprised of me asking some needed questions and to listening to your concerns so we can establish our goals and direction for the counseling. It is our initial get to know each other session.
I don’t care how you got to where you are and you probably don’t either. What you want is to be someplace else and that is my concern as well. Let’s get you to where you want to be. I believe in results! Let’s not waste our time with anything else.
I work with teens and adults who are troubled with depression, anxiety or traumatic events. My ideal client is one who is willing to work and reach up to a new place in their life. I also love relating to and helping couples work through their issues to reach a more satisfying way of communicating and living.
I help clients use CBT especially for those suffering with depression, anxiety or PTSD. I teach clients the proven techniques of reframing, mindfulness, role playing, brainstorming, thought stopping, affirmations and many more in order for them to take charge of their greatest asset: their brain.
I use EMDR particularly with clients who suffer from traumatic episodes and/or PTSD
For those seeking a Christian based and focused approach I am able to provide Christian counseling.
I offer couples counseling to any couple, regardless of marital status or gender identification to learn best how to communicate effectively and dissolve any barriers that are in their way of having a healthy and productive relationship.
For those who are experiencing grief which seems prolonged or too intense.
