I am committed to providing a non-judgmental space where, working at a pace that is comfortable and safe, we will alleviate past pain and hurts, and focus on improving your current quality of life.
Mental clarity, emotional well-being, and inhabiting your body are birthrights. You claim them. Many of our struggles reflect external transgressions and neglect by others, society, life, or our trauma-clouded time. All readily unbalance us. I approach psychotherapy collaboratively, aiding you in fortifying the rigor and vitality of your overall health. Please invite me to serve you, creating the change you envision.
I have been a social worker for over 18 years and have had the opportunity to work in a variety of areas. However, the last 8 years have been dedicated solely to mental and behavioral health as well as issues related to gender and sexuality. Whether its a person , couple, partnership or family, the issues are identified and together we work towards practical goals that will provide each individual with what they need in order to function. I have developed a style that combines a variety of techniques and treatment modalities. I understand that no two people are the same even if the circumstances appear similar. Therefore, my services are specific to you and are customized to fit your needs. Contrary to what you may believe or heard, you don't need a label or diagnoses to talk with a therapist or a counselor. You may need professional guidance to manage stress, need to modify your parenting style, adjust to life transitions or develop self awareness. I am attentive and available to listen. Just give me a call.
My philosophy is that all people are searching for "peace of mind". My approach is to use methods that assist them in attaining this goal. My 27 years of practice provides you with my ability to identify the basis of your conflicts, develop a treatment plan, and effectively reach your goals.
I am here for you to assist with the pressures, struggles and challenges of every day life and the human experience. You can absolutely handle your situation at hand and I am here to help you uncover and use the strengths and tools you already possess. We will work through this together.
ONLINE SCHEDULING NOW AVAILABLE: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working in a private practice setting at Magnolia Family Counseling. I am also currently a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC).
I have been a counselor for over 30 years helping many individuals, families, and couples deal with the pressures of life. I provide a warm, comfortable, caring space for clients to feel safe and able to process issues causing distress. My experience, understanding and compassion help my clients heal.
As someone who personally understands what it is like to walk through life "masking" and making accommodations to thrive in today's society, I am passionate about helping other adults better understand themselves and find a path that works for them. I am most passionate and experienced in helping neurodivergent adults (i.e. Autistic, ADHD, PTSD, C-PTSD) and adults who identify as LGBTQIA+.
