Welcome to your safe, personal retreat where a cozy sofa, soothing music, fresh aromas and coffee/soda await your arrival! Also welcoming you is me, a counselor who is warm, creative, humble, engaging and passionate about helping people. As a fellow sojourner, I have experienced and thrived beyond my own trauma/losses. Past events, traumatic experiences, negative attitude/beliefs, addictions or de
structive behaviors can be detrimental in all aspects of life, driving a person's behavior and thinking in ineffective ways. Counseling can provide a "sacred space" to begin sorting out the issues of the heart so
that freedom can begin. I can integrate Christian or spiritual principles to explore solutions with you. Carl Rogers stated, "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." Using both verbal and non verbal evidence based therapies, as I do, utilizes two
different parts of the brain, making therapy more integrated and effective. Peruse below my specific speciality/treatment approaches. I also work closely with people in 12 step programs. I am pursuing certification as a RPT therapist and am trained/training in Gottman marriage work. Look forward to meeting you!
