I work with children and adolescents seeking comprehensive evaluations in the areas of learning disabilities (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia), ADHD, social-emotional and/or behavioral disorders, autism spectrum disorders, developmental delays and gifted. My goal in working with children and collaborating with their parents is to improve the overall quality of life for children and to prevent the development of more serious learning or behavioral challenges. Please note: I do not provide individual or group therapy services, only testing/evaluations and consultation services. Thank you for allowing me to be of service!

It has been said that when you heal from trauma, you heal seven generations forward and seven generations backward. Though I have had the privilege to work with people across the spectrum in terms of age, gender identity, ethnicity, and presenting problem, I am particularly passionate about working with women along their healing journeys, to increase radical self-acceptance, healthy boundary setting, and self-care. Through this work, my mission is two-fold. I aim to empower my clients to promote and uplift their own well-being, and in doing so, to perpetuate healing across generations and communities, in their wake.

Are you wanting relief from shame, guilt, or feelings of unworthiness? Are you seeking clarity, direction and/or closure from past emotional scars? Do you want deeper connection with your self and others in your life?

I love what I do and it shows. I care about each and every one of you and we do all that we can do to help. I listen and find out what is important to you and then individually customize treatment as to best meet your goals. I use treatments that are shown to be the most effective according to research. I also draw on experience of what I have witnessed work the best. I look forward to speaking with you and assisting with accomplishing your goals.

~Currently not accepting new clients~ As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work collaboratively with my clients to support them in their individual process of self-exploration and healing. Counseling offers an opportunity to take a step back and explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe, supportive environment. It is an active process where past and present life experiences can be discussed, choices can be evaluated, and skills can be learned and practiced. I believe a positive counseling relationship is critical for progress and growth.

***Please use my website www.positiveapproaches.org for all communications: appointment requests or questions you may have can be submitted there. *** I am passionate about helping children, adolescents (up to age 21), and their families change through the use of evidence-based practices, as well as specialized treatment plans in order to give each individual and family a positive outcome. I enjoy working with children through individual therapy and psychological testing. It is a wonderful feeling to help children and families identify difficulties and provide the appropriate treatments to address them via positive approaches.

My therapeutic approach engages and guides each client into meeting their full potential by creating awareness and solutions to their current challenges by looking into their life experiences and life history. My personal theory is to treat each client as an individual; meaning all therapies are not beneficial or advantageous to all. By individualizing my therapy techniques and philosophy, it provides the client with the customizing they deserve. I am nonjudgmental and have an adept ability to establish rapport and trust easily with my clients. My goal is to help my clients achieve a healthier, stronger and happier well being.

My career as a therapist started in 2012 and I am extremely passionate about working in the helping profession. I worked in a variety of settings including psychological centers, elementary schools, job corp, nursing homes, and head start educational centers. I serve children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples.

Are you struggling with trauma or abuse from your past? Are you grappling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, or PTSD? Are you having a hard time handling a recent event, life change, or just life stressors? Sometimes it can be hard to believe that it doesn’t have to be that way. However, everyone has the capacity to heal. I would love to help you break free from old patterns, unhealthy or toxic bonds, or fears and beliefs that are holding you back. My aim is to help you make changes and create a new chapter so that you can have a joyful and balanced life.

Sometimes, life becomes overwhelming or seemingly out of control resulting in anxiety, sadness, depression, confusion, anger, or irritability, along with a feeling of being powerless and without options. Factors may be related to work, marriage, parenting, financial stress, addiction, infidelity, symptoms of past traumatic experience(s), and many other things. Is your situation draining your energy or keeping you awake at night resulting in tiredness and fatigue? Is your situation affecting your life in negative ways? I have been helping people discover solutions to these kinds of problems for 25 years. Let me help you today!

I view counseling as an opportunity to explore areas of our lives that hold us back from truth, freedom, wholeness, and healthy relationships. I believe all people are broken, but our lives "make sense" in the context of our family background and life experiences. To me, counseling is about exploring that context to build self awareness as well as a space to learn new tools of coping and relating in an accepting environment. I feel it is an honor to hear your story and I deeply hope to create an environment that is safe, trusting, and conducive for the healing power of the counseling relationship.

"The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it." Having this belief in mind I have learned to help my client's focus on how they want their lives to be different in the future, rather than on what went wrong in the past. I focus on empowering clients to find their own solutions to life's difficulties. My clinical interventions are guided by Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive and Reality Therapy. My area of specialty is addiction, mood disorder, and relationship concerns. My interventions are guided by compassion, integrity, persistence, excellence, and respect.
