I started my journey working in the mental health field as a Corpsman & Psychiatric Technician for the US Navy (Active duty 1997-2003, two previous 6 month deployments in the Gulf and at GITMO, Cuba). After discharge, I returned back to college to finish my degree in clinical counseling. I have worked in crisis/ER, addictions, inpatient both adult and teen, day treatment for teens, school based therapy and outpatient primary care children, teens and adults. I have strong familiarity with Autism/ADHD and psychotropic medications. I use various therapy modalities (CBT/DBT/MI/ACT/EMDR) but also have interest in teaching food mood nutrition, bilateral exercises/somatic therapy, and creative art therapy.
Little things to know about me: I enjoy live music, painting/art, card game Hand and Foot, camping, cruising in my 69 Chevelle /car shows, traveling (Europe is my favorite), bingo, trivia, and cooking (German food). If you every want to share a song or talk about music that means something to you, please do!

Dea is an experienced therapist who is professional and understanding. She listens and addresses my concerns. This is my first time doing therapy. On my first session I have learned a lot about my situation. I felt relived and validated.

I love the connection & ease that we have a conversation. I usually have anxiety and Dea has made me at ease immediately.
