I have been a counselor for over 20 years and have worked with a variety of age groups who suffered from a wide spectrum of mental health concerns from mild depression to serious mental illnesses. I am EMDR trained and have experience working with clients that have experienced severe trauma. I have treated clients with EMDR using the online platform and have had great results. My other passion is teaching clients how to identify the indicators that they may be victims of manipulation by a narcissist, also known as gaslighting. My counseling style is interactive, informal, and solution focused. I'm also a big proponent of the cognitive-behavioral model by targeting each clients unique needs. My focus is to empower clients to get better. I look forward to working with you!
