Therapeutic Style and Specialties:
My belief is that people seek counseling upon realizing that they want to improve their quality of life.
I work closely with clients to discover thoughts and behaviors which are no longer effective, and work to develop new healthier behaviors.
I work from a Cognitive Behavioral model, and utilize techniques assoiated with solution focused,reality therapy, and existential approaches. I am also trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I believe that our thoughts ultimately shape our emotions and behaviors, and believe that people can change their lives.
Client problems commonly addressed include anxiety, depression, low self esteem, grief and loss, spiritual and life transitions, ersonality disorders and family conflicts. I have special interest in helping women and adolescents. On a more personal note I love traveling, doing home improvements and spending time with family including two beautiful dogs.
Insurances Accepted:

Explanation regarding licensure:
Prior to
receiving licensure in the field of Clinical Social Work, Mental Health
Counseling or Marriage and Family Therapy, professionals are required
to work under the supervision of an approved supervisor for a period of
2 - 3 years, depending on the individual's degree. Having received the
training and education necessary to work with clients therapeutically,
unlicensed counselors are monitored to ensure ethical decisions are
being made in regards to intervention methods. These counselors also
have the opportunity to speak with their supervisor about clinical
challenges they are experiencing. As you are seeking support, feel free
to request further information from a counselor who you are aware is
under supervision and/or working toward licensure. Once licensed, a
therapist must abide by State Law regarding ethical behavior and
ongoing training. Oversight is provided by the Department of Licensing.
