About me

I would be happy to help you move forward in your life. I have over 23 years experience in the mental health field. I have a MA in counseling and also a Master of Divinity degree, but I never superimpose my beliefs or convictions on anyone else, because that is not ethical.

My aim is to help individuals and couples move forward in life in a consistent manner with their particular goals and values and convictions. For licensure, I have the LPC, and for certification I have the CADC. As such, I am able to help individuals with issues of depression, severe anxiety, major life changes and losses, substance abuse issues, relationship issues, learning to be assertive and to have boundaries, closure for trauma and abuse, and helping individuals create a strategy for finding an ideal career.

I draw on several treatment approaches, but my foundation is the cognitive-behavioral approach, because it is proven that guarding the thoughts, avoiding assumptions, and learning to pause and reflect rather than just reacting is what helps people the most to be at peace with themselves, and to better handle the stressors at life throws at us. I look forward to working with you.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Person-centred approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
Solution-focused therapyRecommended for those who want quick, practical solutions to their problems without focusing too much time on the past.

I like to give people the gift of hearing. Everybody has a story, and I believe that the counseling experience should provide people a safe haven in which to vent their frustrations, to dream, to express their concerns and what they’re wanting to work on, and to analyze and process what’s actually happening in their lives.

I like to help people learn to have a voice in life, and to move forward in life in a powerful manner.

I also like to help couples to actually hear each other, to be on the same page, and to move forward in life as a team.
