I’m a licensed professional counselor with over 30 years of experience. I began counseling as a pastor working with individuals, couples and families. I left the pastorate and now I am a fulltime psychotherapist and loving it. I practice psychotherapy from an integrative/holistic paradigm. My general approach is “person-centered”. This means that I don’t come with an agenda. You are the agenda. My goal is to know you, to hear the narrative of your life and come alongside you and resource you to help you respond in a healthy way to whatever you are facing in life. I am a certified Brain Health Coach which means I am trained to look at mental health from the perspective of the latest neuroscience research as it relates to psychotherapy. I am trained in EMDR and practice from a trauma-informed paradigm. I will draw from the full spectrum of therapeutic approaches and interventions to help you better understand you and your world.

The issues I work with in therapy are mind-body issues. I do not have a mental illness approach. What is good for the body is good for the brain and vice versa. My openness and inclusivity influence my approach to therapy. I do not judge. I accept. I am more interested in your uniqueness than your diagnosis and I expect a full recovery in treatment. I fit well with expectations from a person who is here on their own volition, is willing and open to change, and is trying to develop resiliency in life, problem-solving without drama in relationships, and self-respect. I try my best to provide a secure space and collaborate. I take notes and I read them at the end of the session. As opposed to homework, I offer experiments to try between conversations. Depending on preference, I can be direct in helping people identify their goals by collaborating on a treatment plan. I can also be non-direct and identify our goals through the flow of the conversation. A first session with me begins with a casual greeting and formalities regarding confidentiality, rights, and risk assessment questions, followed by a lead-in question to get the ball rolling.
