Introduction

I enjoy working one-on-one with children and adults, and with families, teaching them to communicate in healthier ways, learn to cope with stressors, and break destructive patterns. I have worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, oppositional defiant disorder, PTSD, and numerous individuals struggling to adapt to life changes. My goal is to help you meet your goals to find healthy balance in daily life and relationships. I work with survivors of domestic violence, through the local domestic violence support agency. I want to help you work through your traumas to find you again. LGBTQ+ welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Addictions Counselor with 18 years of counseling experience. Working to certify in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Alternatives for Family: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I tailor your counseling services to your strengths, needs, and to be as comfortable as possible. Reaching out for help can be a tough step. The hope that grows by making that first appointment is often immediate, knowing you have taken a huge leap on your way to health and wellbeing. I would love to help you cope with things that are causing you stress, past traumas, manage tough behaviors, and help you learn to communicate effectively with loved ones.
