About me
I strive to create a relaxed, supportive, and positive space for my clients during counseling. I know disclosing personal info can be tough, so I show respect, honesty, compassion, and non-judgmental listening. My goal is to make sure my clients feel heard, understood, supported, and gain valuable insights. I have 25 years of experience working with kids, teens, and adults in different settings like outpatient clinics, home/community, schools, psychiatric hospitals, and primary care offices. Even though I specialize in Trauma counseling, I work with many clients who have anxiety, depression, mood disorders, intrusive thoughts, etc.
As a trauma therapist, I work with clients experiencing past or present trauma. My expertise encompasses various forms of trauma, including sexual, physical, emotional, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) resulting from war, natural disasters, and unresolved grief. I hold certifications in Somatic Trauma Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
I have a positive, outgoing, and genuine personality. I truly care about my clients and helping them overcome their struggles. Each client is unique, so I ensure that my counseling sessions are tailored to their specific needs and personality. My private practice at MK Counseling Services offers counselors available throughout the morning, afternoon and evening, both in-person and via telehealth. Our location provides ample free parking, including handicap accessibility. The office building is quiet and private, catering to those who prefer a more discreet setting.
