LPC, 24 years of experience
Welcome. I will challenge you (with your permission), laugh with you and expect you to come with a goal and be willing to be actionable about whatever homework you decide to try. If you aren't prepared for a little challenge to your thinking, you aren't engaged in our counseling process. It's okay to be unsure, but not to believe anyone can make things better without your effort. Paying for someone to say you're right 100% of the time may feel good in the moment, but there is no growth in the comfort zone and no comfort in the growth zone.
Despite my background in Crisis, this platform and my association with it, is not appropriate for emergencies regarding a desire to harm self or others or in cases of psychosis that require formal evaluations in an Emergency Room. It is my ethical and professional responsibility to refer clients to appropriate resources (911) in their locality in these instances. Otherwise, we can get to work. My goal is to assist you as you grow the skills and insight to move forward and see results. There will be work involved, new ways of thinking, new behaviors and maybe, new decisions. When and if you are ready for this, I hope you will reach out.
I prefer getting right to work and try to make even the first session count. My goal is for you to get enough traction so that you can see progress quickly and return for booster sessions only as you need them when new challenges arise. I will push you and challenge you wherever I see an opportunity.
I am best suited for stable clients who are not at risk for self-harm or harm to others. Conflict, communication issues, life stage transitions and adjustments in personal and professionals areas with couples and individuals would be the best fit.
I pull from many areas and use what is needed to effect change. I am direct and efficient, with a sense of humor.

Great listener because she is able to summarize my feelings in a few sentences and it gives me a feeling of being heard, of hope, empowerment, control over my emotions and my life.
