Counseling Experience and Approaches

My style as a therapist is best described as real yet supportive, honest yet kind. My #1 goal in each relationship is to clearly understand your goals and to partner with you as you make them a reality. 

I have 20+ years of professional experience working with a large variety of issues including trauma, serious mental illness, stress, relationship issues, grief and loss, parenting stress, career problems and more. I use EMDR and ART therapies to treat many mental health problems, including trauma responses and secondary symptoms, Circle of Security  to improve parent/child attachment (done only with the parent) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to get curious about how the stories we create about our experiences can negatively impact us. 

I approach each client with unconditional positive regard and look forward to walking with you on your road to wellness.

*I do not treat primary diagnoses of eating disorders or addiction. 

*I do not offer couples counseling but will allow your partner to attend 1 session of your choice to improve communication specifically around your therapy and goals.
