I have a wide variety of experience in working with people who are feeling discouraged, overwhelmed and traumatized and are in need of support and coping skills. I also work with people with more serious and chronic mental health disorders by giving them support and encouragement to live in the community and live their life to the fullest. My approach is to help a person talk about their mental health at their own pace, what helps them feel safe and calm and how to do this in a way that makes them feel less stigmatized and gain support and strength through sharing their experience. I also enjoy working with family members of people that are in recovery for a serious mental illness. I have my own lived experience and feel it makes me more empathetic and understanding as a practitioner. I also am a veteran and can work with veterans by understanding some of their culture. I have been a social worker in the field of mental health for 35 plus years but more importantly I am a spouse, mother, sibling and co worker. I have experienced a lot including severe mental illness with a sibling, drug addiction with a family member, LGBTQ and teenage years. These are all people I love and have learned that life comes at people of all walks of life and I am very non judgmental because of that. I am good at putting myself in others shoes and have experienced first hand the stigma, stereotypes and misinformation people from all walks of like can encounter. My approach to helping others is to listen and explore current and past history to help gain insight and put problem solving, client-centered solutions into place. I am seen as having a calming influence on others and generally am able to get others to open up and share their concerns. I am a very open transparent person and I look forward to working with people from all walks of life. Please consider me in your selection of a therapist and I will work hard to assist you in overcoming hardships and obstacles to reach a happier more fulfilling place in your life.

After earning a dual degree in mental health and substance abuse treatment, I began to work with clients who were recovering from opioid abuse and co-occurring disorders. This gave me the unique capacity to help clients not only with addiction, but also trauma, stress, depression, low self-confidence, guilt & shame, anger, and anxiety among many other issues. In addition to general counseling services, I am seasoned in working with process addictions such as shopping, video gaming, Internet, exercise, gambling, and sex and love addictions. I have worked with many clients in the LGBTQIA community and value diversity for others and myself. I have the knowledge and skills to work with clients who struggle with sexual identity and help emotionally work through many issues that arise as a result of sexual trauma, grief or dysfunction. I also work with many clients who open and/or non-monogamous relationships. I believe that acceptance and empowerment is the foundation of this work. I use my accumulated skills to help you identify what is holding you back and how your past helps you identify your strengths to achieve the life you want. I can use a variety of approaches to fit your needs.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of how to move forward after difficult life experiences. Perhaps past trauma, relationship challenges, or major life transitions have left you feeling stuck, disconnected, or struggling with self-worth. You do not have to navigate these experiences alone. I became a therapist because I wanted individuals to feel truly seen, heard, respected, and valued—experiences I did not always have in my own early life. Being able to create that safe, validating, and empowering space for others is both my passion and my purpose. I have experience working in community mental health agencies, residential treatment facilities, and private practice. I work with individuals navigating trauma and PTSD, ADHD, anger management, domestic violence, relationship and intimate partner challenges, life transitions, sexual abuse recovery, disordered eating, and low self-esteem. I also support clients from diverse backgrounds, including those navigating multicultural identity, minority stress, and LGBTQ+ experiences. At Perspective Counseling & Consultation, my approach is collaborative, supportive, and client-centered. I integrate techniques such as EMDR-informed therapy, mindfulness practices, grounding and breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, motivational interviewing, role-playing, exposure strategies, and cognitive-behavioral strategies. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Hope Therapy, and Diabetical Therapy when appropriate. When meaningful to the client, I integrate music or faith-informed perspectives into sessions. I am EMDR-trained, have completed additional seminars on grief and loss, and continue trauma-focused education through the Trauma Institute. I am proud to be a Star Behavioral Health Provider Tier 3, working with military veterans to support their unique needs.
