You’re going through life feeling like no one hears you. You’re afraid to let people see the real you because you fear rejection. Or maybe you’re struggling with figuring out who you really are? You spend a lot of time either trying to avoid and numb out or managing intense emotions associated with memories, flashbacks, or nightmares. Or you have intense emotions but aren’t really sure where they’re coming from and others say you overreact. You are easily startled when someone slams a door or yells or drops something. You feel like no one understands. And it’s exhausting. You’re ready for relief from your symptoms. You want to feel heard and understood. You’re prepared to figure out who you are outside of your past and the symptoms you battle regularly. You’re ready to enjoy life, perhaps for the first time in your life. You are worthy and deserving of relief from your pain. Having 15 years of experience in working with survivors of sexual trauma and childhood abuse, my extensive training and experience allows me to recognize your pain and the various ways you express it so I can help you heal.

I have been been working in the mental health field for over 27 years. I have a Master of Arts in Community Counseling. I am a certified right response instructor as well as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have received training in techniques of various modalities of counseling. To include but not limited to, solution focused therapy, motivational interviewing, certification in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, family structures and systems, play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Much of my specialization is in dealing with families in crisis. When crisis hits us it can be debilitating for all involved. For well over 25 years I have been going into homes, schools, community activity programs and at times the work place. This has allowed for closer relationships with many of my clients and their families. These relationships have improved the outcomes for many. It is my belief that trust works both ways. It is not expected that you will want to come in and divulge your every little secret. In time the we will a partnership where trust and honesty is key between the counselor and client. This partnership together will assist in your journey to a happier and healthier self. As a result of these positive relationships we will be able to look at how to assist in establishing a more stable environment for your continued growth. Unfortunately many of life’s crisis’ lead to high anxiety, depression, defiance and a lack of motivation. Many have suffered post traumatic stress or other environmental stress factors such as employment, pandemic and economic issues. When life hits, it often affects our own relationships with those we love. This is primarily because what affects one person in a group of others, often affects the others as well. This is true of couples who may not be getting along or a child who has difficulty in a particular area. Personally, it is my belief that in order to tackle a problem it takes more than just one problem solver. Therefore it is important to bring to the table those who support you in your everyday lives. There are many people who do not feel as though they do have a support system. The idea is to discover your support system when perhaps you think you have none. While it is important that each person strives to be the best version of themselves it is also just as important that all involved in any way have a voice. To better oneself it must be important to understand our own abilities, strengths and needs. There are times when it seems difficult to see the beautiful in our lives and this would be a great time to pull in one of your supports. Remember, the idea is to be free of counseling one day and this is how we become empowered to move forward. In all actuality I’m a realist. That is to say that I tend to focus on why it is you are coming to see me and focusing on what it is you want to tackle in the moment. It is also very important to consider what is happening today that has caused your need to seek assistance, now. That is to say let’s keep it real. Being transparent is of utmost importance if the counseling relationship is to grow. There is nothing that will be said on my behalf that is not genuine as I believe this is how that trust grows. In the same manner it is important that you feel as if you can be transparent without judgment with your counselor. Due to the many years of crisis counseling it is my belief that there is nothing I haven’t seen. This because during crisis is when we are also most vulnerable. During these times many will say and do things that may not have occurred minus the crisis. This is understandable so it is important that you understand there is no perfect person. The goal is to strive to feel and be a better version of yourself. As a mental health professional the most insightful thing I have learned is that everybody is different in that they have their own thoughts and desires. However, we are all the same in that most people really do want to feel a strong sense of confidence, self esteem and in the end self actualization. The better one feels about themselves the greater the chance of improving ones circumstances. It is therefore important to understand how the past effects you today (without dwelling in the past) and how to use that fact to your advantage for a better tomorrow.
