·LICSWAbout
You can take the first step today towards the life you have been hoping for. Help is only a phone call away. I consider it an honor and priviledge when my clients form a connection with me and entrust me with their hopes , dreams and deepest disires for a fulfilling and happy life. I create a safe and empathetic environment for you to explore the past and present as we work together to find hope and healing for your future. You do not have to do this alone. And it’s never too late to start. In over 20 yrs of counseling experience I've worked with many clients through a variety of interventions. I seek to create an environment of emotional safety. With children I utilize play therapy. Adults have a variety of tools to assist in therapy such as art,sand tray, cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic orientation, and psychoeducation. I offer a balanced approach between the art and science of the counseling experience I have a strong combination of empathy, education, and experience.in over 20 yrs of counseling, I've partnered with my clients to address such clinical issues as: anxiety, agoraphobia, ADHD, behavioral disorders, bi-polar disorder, depression OCD and personality disorders. Specialties: I work with clients who may be struggling with trauma and PTSD as well as depression, anxiety and bipolar disorders. As you become comfortable we will explore the issues that are causing you distress and help you develop insight ,better coping skills and healing. You set your goals and expectations and together we will work together to achieve them. Credentials & Experience: In over twenty years of counseling experiences I've heard many different types of mental health concerns from clients. I am non-judgemental
"I offer supportive therapy and a variety of technique while you find solutions that work for you. I use psychological education so that you can better understand and change patterns that may hinder your ability to develop healthy relationships. It is never too late and I doubt that your unique story would be shocking to me. Secrets can come into the light and shame can be healed."
