It's great to meet you! I have provided counseling and case management for over 25 years. My background is extensive.

Other specialties include Bipolar Disorder, Family-related issues, Stress, Grief, Loss, Relationship Issues, Women's Issues, Depression, Anxiety, OCD, and life coaching. My approach My approach is to use therapy modalities that are clinically proven to promote strong mental health while teaching coping strategies to foster independence and confidence in maneuvering everyday challenges in the world around you. Some of the modalities I use are: Attachment Based, Strength-Based, Structural Family, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Psychodynamic, Motivational Interviewing, Relational, Psychoanalytic, Critical Incident Stress Debrief (CISD), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Processing (CPT), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Gestalt, Behavior Modification, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Emotional Freedom Techniques ( EFT) to name a few. My focus My focus is on using evidence-based practices to help clients modify and adapt to life stressors related to many life challenges. We will work together on an individual plan to sculpt your therapy to meet your needs. Taking the first step is always the hardest. I look forward to meeting you and helping you cultivate a safe and comfortable environment to work through those challenges. My communication style I like for my clients to feel like they are coming to see a friend. I am approachable and I feel it is important for our sessions to be warm and accepting. To heal, clients need to feel safe, heard, validated and protected.
