About my approach (style) to therapy… Listening to clients and meeting them where they are on their life’s journey is the first step. My approach to therapy is helping clients to achieve their goals, as it pertains to their lives and to the therapeutic outcomes of our sessions. When it comes to counseling, I am a lot like a tour guide that can help folks to explore and find different aspects of their being, that they perhaps haven’t yet discovered. Teaching clients how to learn alternative ways to view situations and events can often help them to find new ways of thinking in their search for meaning and understanding a little better of some of life’s challenges. About my background and training… My background and training include helping folks work through some difficult situations throughout my career. I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and use a variety of methods, focusing on what work best for the client. My initial training was in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as it has a proven history of success for many of the challenges brought into therapy. I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i), as well as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I hold a certification as a Clinical Trauma Professional and am a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200). About my work (ideal clients) … My specialty in counseling is working with adults, as individuals and in couple’s sessions. I have a broad range of experience in helping adults and couples overcome anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and to increase communication skills. Throughout the sessions I encourage a continuous improvement approach to improve client’s daily lives. A Little About Me… I’ve been married for over thirty years. After retiring from the US Army, I chose to transition into a career field to help others. When not working, I enjoy the Florida beaches,, reading, yoga, spending time with my family, and walking our two miniature poodles.
