Hello, I want to welcome you on this new journey! It takes courage and the desire to make changes to be here seeking solutions. Each person is unique, and I value clients who are from diverse, multi-cultural populations. I have a particular passion for working within the often underserved LGBTQ+ community. I love working with couples and individual adults. My twenty-plus years working in the school system as both a counselor and teacher, have honed my skills and techniques. My experience includes an emphasis on working with conflict management, anxiety, and goal setting while also developing positive coping skills and strategies. I am trained in a number of methods, and, after initial assessment, will work with you to find the best approach. I'm trained in the Gottman Method for couples, both EX/RP and ICBT for OCD, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy (goal setting and coping skills development, and I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). Everyone deserves to be seen, heard and supported. It's been and continues to be my life's passion to help others to find a peaceful, balanced and mentally healthy life. Creating a supportive experience free of judgement is key. Working together, we can process the past, evaluate your strengths, challenges and forge a new path forward toward your best life!
