About
You likely find yourself here because something isn't right and you want change. With that in mind I aim to get you feeling better and back at it! To that end, I offer individual and couples/marriage counseling to individuals of all ages and walks of life. I specialize in treatment of adult ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, OCD, and Eating Disorders. Additionally, I am a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors and welcome integrating your belief system into therapy, if that is desired. For ADHD I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational interviewing. I use CBT-E to treat eating disorders. For trauma I offer the use of both CPT and EMDR. For anxiety and OCD I am trained in the use of exposure response and prevention (ERP). Anybody can benefit from a helping hand along the way. If you are considering seeking help please send an email or make a phone call today, and thank yourself for it tomorrow. Credentials & Experience: I have extensive experience helping adults with ADHD, specialized training in trauma recovery with techniques of (EMDR & CPT), treating eating disorders with extensive training in (CBT-E), and treating and managing severe anxiety (OCD) with ERP.
