Hello and Blessings! I am committed to providing a safe, compassionate, non-shaming, and non-judgmental environment where you can discuss and navigate the complexities of life. With 20+ years of military service, I specialize in working with diverse clients, from adolescents to senior citizens, including veterans and their families. My areas of expertise include addressing Marital and Premarital relationship concerns, family/parental/children distress, post-traumatic stress Disorder, emotional dysregulation, grief, and substance use concerns.
Sharing personal experiences is essential to the therapeutic process that leads to positive emotional change. I use an Emotionally Focused Therapeutic approach to develop strategies that enhance the awareness, acceptance, regulation, and transformation of emotions, thereby encouraging the creation of new, meaningful experiences in your life.
Hesitation to attend therapy is common because we may not trust someone new with our problems. Finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and who aligns with your needs is vital. A suitable therapist should be trustworthy, reliable, non-shaming, and nonjudgmental. I would be honored to take this journey with you. Thank you for considering me.
