Personal Statement

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with over 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families.

I offer caring, respectful, and compassionate counseling to help in the healing process from a traumatic experience. Trauma can result from childhood sexual abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, combat/war, witness to violence, car accidents etc.

I believe that the psychotherapy relationship is collaborative. The client sets the direction, content and pace of the therapy session. Most times counseling will involve the both of us identifying and exploring your goals and needs in therapy. The therapy process provides support and guidance for healing, growth, and change.

Whether the trauma is from early childhood or more recent, I provide a safe place to heal from the traumatic events. I have extensive experience working with survivors of trauma. My style is holistic, interactive, and collaborative. I would be honored to assist you in working through and healing from your traumatic events.
