*****Weekend appointment availability***** Open-minded and nonjudgmental therapist with a safe place. Experienced with alternative lifestyles, unique situations and welcoming to all individuals. I use an eclectic approach to therapy as one size does not fit all. Counseling is a place to work toward a better and more fulfilling life, where goals are attained, communication is improved and relationships are strengthened. With a particular interest in sexual dysfunction and intimate relationship problems, I will accept you as you are, with unconditional positive regard. I have over 15 years of experience as a mental health counselor, and support people in each of the dimensions of wellness. I recognize you as the expert in your life! Together we will work as a team partnership to establish goals and the steps to help attain those dreams.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first meeting, we will explore your needs and establish some history to ensure I am best prepared to walk with you on your journey.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I have over fifteen years of experience helping professionals, parents, young adults, minorities, people involved in the criminal justice system, those with substance use issues and other addictions, and individuals experiencing trauma, natural or manmade disasters and homelessness.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Clients have let me know that they enjoy a place to openly share thoughts, feelings, and dreams, without feeling judged. They feel supported, seen, and heard.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
By focusing on your preferred outcomes, we work together to develop your goals, and the steps you identify to reach your own destiny.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use ACT to support you in finding your most authentic self. We will explore your core values and work on taking committed actions toward building a meaningful life. ACT also integrates mindfulness practice to help you stay present, slow down, and approach your experiences without judgment.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With CBT, we examine the interconnected relationship between your thoughts, feelings (emotions), and your actions and reactions. I will guide you through practical, step-by-step changes toward the desired outcomes and preferred results that you seek.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
In utilizing DBT, we focus on four essential skill sets: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance. With regular practice, you may find that you are experiencing less suffering and more effective ways of feeling, processing, and experiencing emotions. This leads to improved engagement with others and a greater ability to withstand the challenges and stressors of daily life.
Eclectic
My integrated model focuses on building resilience, self-awareness, and the concrete skills necessary for long-term well-being and a life rich in personal meaning.

She lets me vent and from that decides what to point the focus on.
