Working as a licensed counselor for over 30 years has tenderized my heart towards those who want to get “unstuck” from patterns and places we all can find ourselves in. Though I specialize in trauma work and family systems, I work with clients who have anxiety issues, depression, abuse, addictions, sexual trauma, disturbing life events, self concept and life change adjustments. I love what I do and am passionate about walking with people through their pain, shame and fear to a place of hope.
The theoretical base of my work is eclectic, drawing from the concepts of several different modes of counseling and integrated with faith-based theories. Each of my clients’ therapies are tailor-made to address what will benefit their physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual well being.
I am certified in EMDR Therapy which can be a highly effective, efficient and empowering treatment in dealing with relational “triggers” a person may encounter in day to day living. “EMDR can quickly direct people through a healing process freeing them to live life more fully in the moment.”
