I have experience providing treatment to children, adolescents, and adults in the areas of ADHD, ODD, Adjustment Disorders, Depression, Anxiety Disorders, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, Divorce, Physical and Sexual Abuse, Neglect, and parenting struggles. I have a background in Child Protective Services which focused on reuniting families, Intensive In-Home treatment, individual and family therapy, and community engagement. I believe this smaller focused approach allows me to have the best skills available to you in a consistent presence and practice.
My particular areas of strength lie with treatment of PTSD. I provide both Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for children and adolescents aged 5-19 and Cognitive Processing Therapy for individuals aged 14 and up. I also provide clinical supervision to counselors in practicum, internship, and post graduate.
I believe that we can explore and address your struggles together. We will develop a partnership approach to help you reach your goals. Life can be overwhelming and we can face it together. At Flourishing Lives Counseling, we are a team of 7 therapists, and one office administrator. We strive to match you with the therapist suited best for your needs.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, we will add a variety of techniques that you believe will support you.
