My Approach to Helping
When you work with me you can expect respect, honesty, sincerity, and a non-judgmental approach. I am a kind person with a gentle heart whose true calling is to be available to others to improve life situations. If you are one of the many who prefers staying private, has never tried counseling, and/or is uncomfortable or apprehensive about talking with a new person, I understand and am looking forward to being the one to help you get back on track and feeling good about yourself. Along with providing Online, phone, office availability, and if you are local to me, we can arrange in-home sessions.
More Info About My Practice

I have ten years experience working with Severely Emotionally Disturbed Children in an intense high level group home and non-public school providing individual, group and family therapy. For six of these years, I was also the Clinical Supervisor for the programs and provided training in Play Therapy, Cultural Sensitivity, Crisis Management, Infant/Toddler Mental Health, Stress Relief, Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress, Depression skills, Self-esteem, Strengths-based Focus, and Family Work.
