In therapy, I counsel Individuals, families, couples, and children. No matter how trivial an issue may seem, everyone has issues in life. If it is causing you emotional pain, that is a good reason to seek out help. I understand everyone has a different journey in their lives and I would like to assist you in your path to self-discovery and healing. Your issues may be stress, loneliness, sadness, frustration, or concern for a loved one. You are not alone and I am ready to help you explore strategies to help you improve your life. Each session is provided in a warm and compassionate environment. I will ask you some questions so I can understand which issues you want to focus on. Therapy is a process of learning and the rewards are great. You will develop parts of yourself that you did not know existed. This will help you to become a better parent, partner, and best friend to yourself and your loved ones. Are you ready to take that step of self-discovery to become the best version of yourself? I want to guide you in your path to self-discovery, happiness, and peace. I have been counseling clients for over 24 years and I work with all populations. My counseling modalities include Cognitive behavioral therapy, Solution-focused, and Person-Centered therapy. When I counsel children, I use all of these in addition to Play therapy. Many of the therapeutic issues we work together on are Self-esteem, relationships, communication, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, Social skills, and grief. I am a licensed therapist and have a Masters Degree in counseling. I have spent many years counseling children, adolescents, and adults. Although therapy may look different with each population, the process is equally meaningful in all sessions.

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

My sessions are in a very comfortable office and I want my clients to feel as at home as they can. I am not judgmental and I pride myself on being compassionate. Everyone is a human being with flaws and all of us have at one point had to ask for help. I look forward to helping you feel as comfortable as possible. I will have to ask questions and if there are things you don't want to talk about, we don't have to. Your respect and feeling comfortable are the most important things in our sessions.

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

I feel my biggest strength is the various populations of clients with whom I have counseled. I have counseled all ages of people who suffer with anxiety and depression and self-esteem issues, Adults who Depression, anxiety and other Mental Health issues. I have also counseled adults with addictions and have experience doing individual and couples

My treatment methods

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I use Solution-focused Therapy as a way to guide clients toward positively resolving an issue. This is through Strategies and solutions that work specifically for the client and situation.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

My use of Cognitive Therapy is through challenging negative thoughts, exploring where those thoughts came from, and resolving them in a manner that provides further understanding of yourself and life's challenges.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

Person Centered is also a part of my therapy. This allows for you to feel unconditionally accepted so rapport and safety can build in our sessions. This emotional safety is crucial in fostering change that can be explored while you are feeling safe enough to express your emotions.
