Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC

I'm not the expert on your life, YOU are. With the perspective of an outside observer and insight born of experience, I seek to help you map out a path to pursue healing and wholeness. I believe that ignoring your heart is as dangerous as following your heart. I instead seek to help you understand what's happening in your heart, so you can explore your inner world and respond out of a place of self-awareness and growth.

Greetings, thank you for stopping by my page. I am offering teletherapy through video and/or phone to all who want to be seen during this time. I specialize in treating anxiety-related disorders. To address anxiety, I use Compassionate Mind Training or CMT. CMT focuses on retraining our minds to be flexible. This flexibility is learned through various mindfulness exercises and is designed to guide you to your most compassionate and best self. I also recently received training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR); which is a well-validated form of trauma therapy. At this time, I am now nearly fully certified.

If you or someone you love is affected by any addiction, I can help. With over 38 years of experience in addiction and substance abuse, and training in numerous techniques to deal with addiction issues, I possess the knowledge, expertise, and flexibility for your recovery. A therapist who listens to what you say, helps you decide what isn't working for you, and provides you with the tools to achieve your goals.

However, if you don't treat the underlying cause, it's like changing a tire without taking out the nail.

Therapy provides a safe place to increase understanding, to learn how to make positive changes, to resolve problems, to heal from painful situations, or to simply feel better. I believe these things occur best when an individual is in a non-judgemental environment where they are treated with dignity and respect. I strive to provide just that to my clients. I want people to feel relaxed and supported when working with me. Life, with all its challenges, is difficult enough. The therapeutic process should be as easy as possible.
