Personal Statement

I am a licensed mental health counselor with a holistic approach to therapy. I will help you see the interaction between body, mind and spirit and how to balance them all. My style is at times infused with humor and is always warm and direct. I believe that you are the expert on you. As your guide and advocate, I'll help you develop the insight, passion and courage to create the life you want, whether you are looking to reduce anxiety, feel more joy, or release the past.

I have over 20 years of experience in relationship/marriage counseling, parenting, substance abuse, anxiety, anger, depression and past trauma that has you stuck. We can work together to create a path that works better for you.

I am prepared to guide you through most anything you are experiencing. I specialize in relationship/marriage, and depression, anxiety and anger. I am a substance abuse specialist and a Parenting Coach. In addition to these specialties, I am well-experienced in most areas of counseling and GLB friendly.

I hold a certificate from the American Academy of Traumatic Stress, and am experienced in using the technique of EMDR to help you process stuck trauma or other situations you want to improve. This technique has also been useful in decreasing psychogenic non-epileptic seizures.
