About
I am a licensed mental health counselor in the State of New York with ten years of experience. I am a nationally certified counselor, a certified clinical mental health counselor, a certified clinical trauma professional, a credentialed grief specialist, and an approved clinical supervisor. I am a graduate of Capella University with a Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling. I have a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision with a specialization in trauma and crisis from Walden University.
I am a military spouse of a combat veteran. I am well versed in military issues, as I served as a Family Readiness Group Leader for seven years and as a Battalion leader for three. I offer a wide range of counseling services, including depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, grief, PTSD, issues related to gender and sexuality, relationship issues, and parenting concerns.
My preferred theoretical approach is person centered, although I draw from CBT, Solution-Focused, Reality., and REBT therapies. I believe the core of a client/counselor relationship must be based upon warmth, genuineness and unconditional positive regard. I believe that every individual is their own expert in terms of their lives and must be taught effective tools in which to facilitate change.
Engaging in counseling services can be a difficult decision, as many people fear that they will be judged. As previously stated, I believe that treating clients with warmth, genuineness and unconditional positive regard is paramount in order to establish a favorable counseling relationship.I provide a warm, safe, empathic, environment to begin working toward change.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
