I am also a National Certified Counselor, National Certified School Counselor, and a Certified Trauma Specialist. I have been a school counselor for 28 years in both elementary and middle school settings. I have been in private practice and I taught classes for the University of Phoenix for 10 years. My approach to counseling is eclectic and I believe it is essential that we work together to promote change. I will work with you to help you identify issues and set goals. I use a variety of techniques and you will often have an assignment or an activity to complete between sessions. I love working with adults, adolescents, and children. I volunteer with several organizations and facilitate grief groups for adolescents and their parents.

I feel like I can express my real concerns with my therapist and I feel like I’ve developed a real working relationship with Dr. C. I know that I’ve made some real progress and I’m grateful for the guidance I’ve received. All aspects of my life have grown exponentially and I think seeing Dr. C ended up being an investment in myself. If I had to do it all over again, I would.
