It takes awareness to recognize something is not working in dealing with life’s stresses and it takes a great deal of courage to seek help. I want to be your guide on the journey to discover healthy ways to manage stress, reconnect to yourself, and engage with all that is important to you. I am a doctoral-level Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 19 years of counseling experience. I am highly specialized in treating trauma, grief/loss and addictions
My counseling style is warm, direct, and committed to honoring your hopes and goals. While my focus is on how you are currently functioning, I understand how the present is impacted by the past. I believe as you gain greater awareness of yourself and your interactions with others, you will be able to engage in the world in ways that are congruent with you.
I use DBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR to increase your awareness of patterns of thinking and acting that were once helpful, but now have become problematic. I believe therapy can promote your ability to heal, ease pain in your life, and help you effectively cope with stress.
