Choosing to go to therapy can be a difficult decision, yet it can be a catalyst for positive change. I firmly believe seeing a therapist can provide people with the resources and support to manage and cope with life's struggles, increase their understanding of themselves, and gain tools to feel more empowered and heal. I work with people across the lifespan (5+) and see clients experiencing a wide array of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and low self-esteem.

Attention to your needs, whether individuals, couples, or partners by providing a neutral safe space, validating your concerns, customizing a plan that integrates all of you - body, mind, and soul, can lead to restoration. I invite you to visit my website at Thetrilogycounseling.com to become acquainted with my practice with hassle free online scheduling. My approach includes guiding you to restore balance - assessing all areas of life, to reframe, or look at situations from a slightly different perspective, and lead to renewal by putting in place coping skills and connect with your inner strengths.

I enjoy working with diverse individuals experiencing a variety of life stressors including life transitions, complex trauma and child/adolescent social and emotional issues. I believe that everyone can change, yet most don’t have the tools to do so. Early childhood experiences shape the way we see the world, ourselves, and others. We can often go through life without acknowledging our unhealthy, subconscious thoughts until we start to recognize harmful patterns in our lives. Bringing emotions such as fear, shame, and insecurities to the light will keep them from taking root any further.

I wholeheartedly believe that because the majority of our wounds occur inside relationship, healing will come through relationship as well. In our work, I can offer you warmth and empathy as we gently explore the ‘why’ behind what you do while uncovering your strength and resilience. My work with clients focuses on grief and loss, trauma, relational discord, anxiety, depression, body image, life-transitions, adoption-related issues, parenthood and the intersection of faith and spirituality with day to day living.

"I believe that empowerment is the key to success." I have a Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and I have worked in the addictions field for over six years. I also work with children and families who struggle with traumas, domestic violence, behavioral, emotional and communication issues. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) clinical evaluator and treatment provider approved by the Department of Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD). I can perform alcohol and drug clinical evaluations for pretrial, DUI convictions and license reinstatement.

I'm passionate about equipping clients with knowledge and skills to help them learn, grow, and heal. I strive to bring genuineness, warmth, and authenticity to my sessions in a way that creates a space safe enough for my clients to do the same. I enjoy working with teens and adults on issues related to perfectionism, people-pleasing, codependency, relationship dynamics, sports performance, and sports injuries. If you struggle with feelings of guilt, shame, resentment, anger, not being enough/good enough, or vulnerability, I’d love to work with you and help you make changes in your life that better align with your values and goals.

It’s truly incredible when a person sees that there’s something inside them that they want to work on, and then they go after that. It’s incredible that you’re here, that you’re searching. The people who want to be the best version of themselves, who want to break “generational traumas” and work on their mental health so that they can pass down health, wholeness, peace, and light to the next generation - those are the superheroes. Our mental health is our foundation for how we relate to ourselves and world around us after all - Our God, ourselves, and others.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in working with children and adolescents. I also work with adults. While post-graduate training, and teaching, have increased my skills, what makes me a good therapist are the beliefs I hold dear. I believe in people and their ability to heal and thrive. I believe that the connection I have with my clients not only allows them to open up to me, but others as well. Most importantly, I believe that working with others is a tremendous responsibility and a sacred trust. It is an honor I never take lightly.

I truly saw the need for more mental health professionals in my community when I lost my father in 2006. Since that day, I began my journey of understanding the mind and how it works. We go through many major life transitions such as breakups, divorce, having children, new professions, loss of income, moving, pandemic stress and more. Most do not realize just how traumatic these seemingly “normal” events are to us at times.

Sometimes we come to a place where we realize the life we are living is not aligned with our personal values, purpose, or desires. There may be patterns that have served a purpose in the past, helping us manage fear when we have felt unsafe and haven't had the resources to effectively cope. While these strategies may have helped you survive, they may now be holding your body and mind hostage to the past. Together we can explore these patterns with the goal to help you develop personal insight, learn new coping strategies, and heal into a fulfilled life.

No matter how big or how small, your struggle is valid. So often guys walk into the office thinking they need to carry around everything as if their pain is a badge of honor. You don’t have to carry everything. You don’t have to be alone in your struggle. It is ok to ask for help. Therapy can be a place where you come to learn more about the “why you do what you do” or it can be a place where you can talk without being judged or even fixed. I want to be a part of ushering in a new age of males. Ones that are willing to understand who they are. Ones that are willing to deal with their pain, so others don’t take the brunt.

Our mental health is the foundation for how we view everything: ourselves, the world around us, even God. Cumberland Counseling Services is a professional counseling center providing quality mental health care and education, to bring about transforming change to the communities that we serve. Our focus areas include couples, adults, and adolescents aged 10+. And as licensed professionals, we are committed to the highest standards of therapeutic practice and adhere to state ethical codes. Our counselors will draw upon their clinical training and formal education to address each unique need.

I enjoy working with ages 18 to 99 in all areas of personal growth. I treat many issues, including depression, anxiety, stress, grief, work or school issues, trauma, and substance abuse. I am trained in EMDR for processing trauma. As a writer myself, I try to help clients discover and nurture their own creative gifts as we seek imaginative solutions to challenges.

I believe in establishing a collaborative approach with my clients to help support the therapeutic process. Using cognitive-behavioral techniques, I help my clients learn to identify and challenge their unhealthy thoughts and behaviors so they can develop fuller, more meaningful lives. I work with clients in managing their emotions, improve their ability to communicate with others, and build healthy and resilient self-concept. Utilizing a direct, interactive approach, with a touch of humor, I teach my clients coping skills so they can pull from their "toolbox" of skills in between sessions and eventually throughout their lives.
