About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in social services and behavioral health working with diverse populations experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship issues.

I provide an empathetic and supportive approach to the challenges clients experience. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy. Using various therapeutic approaches based on the individual needs of the client. One approach used is Supportive Therapy where the therapist engages in an entirely encouraging, emotional, and supportive relationship with the client as a process of promoting healthy defense mechanisms. Other approaches include, Solution-focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR and therapy that includes play techniques. I am also affiliated with a consulting group which includes a psychiatrist and nurse practitioner and we work together to understand clients from a biological and psychological perspective.
