Hi, I've been a therapist for 15 years, I've worked with many different populations including children and families, adolescents, couples, LBGT, those suffering from addiction and with those seeking spiritual direction. As I do not subscribe to a specific religion, I believe we are all spiritual beings.
Some of my strong areas of work have been with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy {CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy ( DBT), EMDR and client centered approach.
I have family members who suffer from addiction. I have worked in a drug and alcohol residential program for 4+ years and have led groups on addiction and codependency.
I have a passion to work with women at all phases of their lives in helping them find inner strength and confidence,
I believe that most persons know, either consciously or subconsciously what they want for their lives. Sometimes they just don't know how to access their own vision for themselves. I have been honored to be invited into my clients process to help them discover their own path.
My clients, family and friends say that I am a good listener and convey compassion and empathy.
I love to solve problems as I see them as opportunities for growth and change.
I would love to meet you and help you explore your opportunities for growth and change.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Relationship issues, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Parenting issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue
