Counseling Experience
I have over eighteen years of clinical experience working with adults, families, children, and youth in private practice, community mental health, residential care, and within student ministries at my church. I hold a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology and have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor since 2013. I have also provided Clinical Supervision to Master level interns and professional counselors for more than seven years.
Counseling Approach
I value compassion, empathy, and humor and enjoy partnering with my clients to help them meet their needs and work towards the goals that are important to them.
My specialties are in the areas of TRAUMA, DEPRESSION & ANXIETY, AND SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESSES. I am an EMDR trained therapist and find this is great way to help clients move past prior trauma and into the life they want to live. In addition to EMDR, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, ACT, Internal Family Systems, and Attachment theories, among other approaches, My most valued role in counseling is helping my clients know that there is someone and some place where their stories are honored, their needs are met, and change is possible.
I provide both in person and online, distance counseling for those who need this service.
