Hello Everyone! Thank you for checking out my page. I have had many years of working with different populations, and have enjoyed learning new people, cultures, and different types of people. I always try to meet the person where they are at, and try to give them the most support and treatment as I can working collaboratively together.

I am trained in EMDR for relief of trauma and both behavioral and psychodynamic/talking therapies which emphasize positive habits, good health and personal insight. Any change starts from within and sometimes we all need another perspective to grasp the whole picture so that problems or obstacles can be sensibly, sensitively and effectively handled. I work from a strengths-based orientation whereby the talents, skills, and interests can be identified. So we go from there, to where the individual learns to utilize those strengths in resolving problems, conflicts, stressors as well as finding sources of comfort, competence and confidence.
