Hello, I am a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years experience working with children, adolescents, adults and parents. I have worked extensively in group-homes, foster care/adoption groups, psychiatric inpatient and day treatment programs, in emergency-room settings conducting mental-health evaluations, and also providing counseling and psychoeducation services in an outpatient psychology setting.
My style of psychotherapy involves an eclectic array of services including; cognitive-behavioral therapy, family therapy, client-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, trust-based relational intervention therapy, trauma-focused CBT (cognitive-behavioral therapy), mindfulness practice, and skill-building,
For years I've had a passion for helping children, teens and their families to improve their level of functioning and communication within the family system. Over time, it's also become a desire to help young and middle-aged women successfully navigate the challenges of life, in a way that provides hope, improved well-being and positive change.
I look forward to helping and supporting you, too, through your journey. :-)
