I have over 35 years of experience in the combined fields of counseling and behavioral health. Counseling is offered in a safe and supportive environment, I work with you to help release unwanted patterns/beliefs, unresolved old feelings that blocking personal power. Some of my techniques include Conventional Therapy, CBT, REBT, Solution Focused Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing. Whether you are stuck in the past, struggling with life's up & downs, unsure about your future or have experience trauma. We can work together to find resolutions to your symptoms so you can experience a more fulfilling, happier and meaningful life.
I'm trained in EMDR which is recognized as an effective treatment for trauma by The World Health Organization, National Institute of Health, APA & the Veteran Administration. Research shows EMDR is rapid, safe & effective. EMDR is highly effective for a wide range of disorders including: Trauma, abuse, depression, recovery from sexual abuse & traumatic events.
