Hello. I have been working with people as a Licensed Professional Counselor and as an Occupational Therapist for the past 26 years. This means that I not only believe in the healing properties that can be found with sharing thoughts and feelings in a supportive, non-judgmental relationship, but I also strongly believe in the importance of integrating purposeful activity into our work together. I like to foster an environment in which we can work together as a team. YOU are the expert in your life, and therapy can help you to make the best decisions to get your life back on track. To this end, I will often give people assignments to complete between sessions. It might be something to read, an exercise designed to get you thinking, or a task to get you to examine your thoughts or feelings. It all depends on what goals you have chosen to work on during our time together. Some specific areas I can help you with are feelings of depression and anxiety, managing stress, suicidal thoughts, substance abuse concerns, difficulty with your career or relationships, chronic heath issues, caregiver burnout or stress, issues related to a history of abuse, mood swings, low self esteem and grief. I understand how very difficult it can be to reach out for help and am so glad that you have made this positive step for yourself. I would very much like the opportunity to make this journey with you.

I have enjoyed working with clients individually as well as in groups in addition to providing continuing education to professionals and other workshops and supportive resources to community members. I have worked with clients of all ages with a variety of concerns including challenges associated with ADHD, Autism, Learning and other Disabilities as well as clients struggling with Anxiety, Depression and other mental health diagnoses. Additionally, I have worked with many people who have experienced physical and/or emotional trauma or abuse and those that have struggled with substance abuse. My therapeutic style is warm and interactive. My approach combines a variety of methods including the use of mindfulness strategies, cognitive behavioral and mind-body techniques as a few examples, based on your personality, needs and goals. Our conversations and your treatment plan will be tailored to meet your unique needs. We will work toward identifying and utilizing your personal strengths to their maximum potential and improving any areas that may benefit from additional practice and support. I work with my clients to help identify the ways in which these challenges can impact communication, family and relationships, and when appropriate, focus on strategies and tools that positively impact communication and help improve relationships as well. It can be very difficult to take the first steps to make adjustments in our lives that move us toward the positive changes we would like to see. I am looking forward to working with you on this journey!

I have worked with clients who suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual identity issues, and addiction. There is not a population of people I feel uncomfortable working with.

I want you to be able to live your life as free as possible and no longer have a need for me. I am an EMDR trained therapist, which has been an instrumental tool in working with individuals suffering from trauma such as loss of a loved one or rape. For more information on EMDR follow this link: https://www.emdr.com/what-is-emdr/ I would describe my counseling style as non-judgmental, genuine, warm, and solution-focused. I will help you get to wherever you need to go, whether that's a better sense of self, better work ethic, or lower depressive or anxious levels. I am also here if you just need an unbiased 3rd party listen to your issues in a confidential setting.
