Pre-Licensed Professional Counselor, AMFT, APC, NCC
Are you struggling with your thoughts, feelings, actions, or relationships; maybe all of those? Regardless of the symptoms, my goal is to provide a safe space, where you feel accepted, respected, and supported as we work together. My role is to help you flourish, regardless of the circumstances you're facing.
Though I work with clients bothered by all types of mental disorders, my focus is on marriage & family and trauma-related problems. When poor communications and hurtful conflict patterns are escalating, working with me can help you move in a better direction. Traumatic events and abuse can be a source of ongoing pain and uncontrollable reactions. I’ve found using EMDR therapy and CBT to be highly effective in helping clients finally leave hurtful memories in the past and learn to live a more enjoyable life.
A little about me…I grew up overseas and know what it’s like to feel like you don’t belong. I’ve learned to fit into new situations with new people and difficult circumstances. Learning to develop in areas where I was weaker was key. I’ve grown through the loss of a spouse and remarriage. Personal therapy and paying attention to physical, mental, and spiritual needs helped me through times when I was stuck in distressing patterns.
