Counselor Directory.

I work with adults, ages 20-65+ years. Many of my clients face the challenge of developing healthy relationships, find meaning and hope during this COVID era. Most of my clients struggle with managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, grief and trauma. I encourage my clients to think of our therapy sessions as a partnership. I encourage each client to express their concerns in an accepting, non-judgmental and safe environment. I offer tools to help resolve barriers to a meaningful life.

I have helped men & women in community mental-health services, inpatient and outpatient hospital environments and private practice. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, ACT, Solution focused brief therapy, and biblio-poetry therapy. I incorporate art therapy, biblio-poetry therapy, journaling and eco-psychology to help clients identify what keeps them stuck in self-defeating thoughts and behaviors which often prevent them from living their best life as they define it. I find it a privilege to work with clients who are willing to take the risk to share their concerns, emotionally heal and grow into the person they long to be. Clients who work with me like my down-to-earth approach, compassion and sense of humor.

I believe that everyone has the potential for change. I have witnessed powerful healing and growth in my clients over the course of working together. I believe being a therapist is a gift, a vocation, instead of a “job.” I feel privileged to help everyone who asks for help in working through feelings and beliefs that keep them stuck in an unfulfilling life. I believe therapy should be a safe space that always remains confidential. Even though what we talk about is important, I know that the therapeutic relationship, itself, is naturally healing.
