Licensed clinical professional counselor, conditional , Licensed Alcohol/Drug Counselor. MRT Trained. 27 Years experience. I treat holistically, assisting you in making the changes you desire.

I believe truly understanding a person’s journey begins with a compassionate heart. Each person is beautifully unique, harbors inner strengths, and is on a developmental journey, no matter what their age. I work collaboratively and creatively to identify these strengths and explore developmental perspective. During our work together, it is my goal to create a private and safe place in which to explore, heal, and grow.

Your mental health is so important and I partner with clients who are ready to prioritize their emotional well-being. It is important to find a space that feels supportive and productive to make life changes, big and small. I am an experienced therapist who approaches the work with compassion and humor. While it can be hard to make life changes, having someone who truly listens helps. I draw on my extensive experience to tailor my approach to your particular needs. I am here to support your unique goals that will improve your mental health.

Welcome! Thank you for viewing my profile. I am available to guide you through situations including relationship problems, grief, personal or professional transitions including major life challenges, such as divorce, blending families and managing anxiety or depression. I have spent years assisting people develop healthier lives. I offer a therapeutic environment of professionalism, warmth, truth, consistency and I give homework! You and I will collaborate and develop a therapeutic plan designed just for you. I also offer Christian counseling for those that wish to integrate their faith into the counseling process.

Some of us struggle to live day to day and have stopped dreaming. Why is dreaming left to childhood? If you are searching for peace or to heal an invisible scar, you do not need to suffer or problem solve alone. I am a licensed clinical social worker whose passion for the past 30 years has been creating a safe space for the human experience that we all share. It has been my understanding that you may already have what you need and I have the privilege to be alongside you on that journey. Risks are scary but this may be a good one to take. I hope you reach out!

I have some openings for new clients at this time. As a fully licensed Clinical Psychotherapist, I believe that everyone has a desire to be successful in their life, but sometimes lack the skills or supports to achieve that goal. My non-judgemental approach will help you feel more comfortable facing the difficulties that are causing you to feel incomplete. Counseling can be an active, dynamic process, that can be exciting, challenging, and even enjoyable! I work with individuals, as well as couples and have a keen interest in Men's issues.

My goal as a substance use disorder counselor is to assist clientele in identifying their needs and goals of addiction recovery and to help them, learn to help themselves. Many of the clients I see suffer from co-occurring disorders with mental health disorders playing a major role in their ability to remain abstinent from alcohol and/or other drugs. Within that framework of how mental health interacts with addiction, I can provide the client with evidence-based, trauma-informed interventions that can interrupt the relapse process, enabling them to live the life they want to live.

In my private practice, I focus on working with those affected by traumatic events or ongoing traumatic exposure. I have experience in outpatient therapy, crisis counseling, and emergency management. While I work with many experiences of trauma and all posttraumatic stress, I specialize in work with first responders or other professionals that are routinely exposed to occupational trauma.

Often people begin counseling to change something and feel differently. Working together at your pace, we'll explore what may be getting in the way today and work to find ways of dealing with life on a day-to-day basis more resourcefully. When relevant, we'll also look at the past to understand how your history might be part of what you are experiencing currently and to support you in making desired changes for yourself. Part of my role in working together is to bring into your awareness what presently has been outside of your awareness. I use a blend of Transactional Analysis, Redecision Therapy, and Energy Work.

The demands on young adults to succeed academically, professionally and socially create strain on various life transitions - those from college to the professional world, as well as throughout your academic career. These strains can often lead to feelings of anxiety and depression. I understand these transitions and the skills required to navigate the stress involved. The therapeutic relationship is a partnership and through the use of a strengths based and solution focused perspective, I hope to support you in identifying those patterns in your life that may be creating a barrier to smooth transitions.
