My Approach to Helping

While I use an eclectic approach in mental health counseling depending upon the needs of the individual, I tend to rely more on growth-oriented theories. I believe our present life situation is a result of all of our past experiences and how we made meaning of those experiences. I believe our future is dependent upon the experiences of our current life as well as our past, again, all based on how we make meaning of those experiences. I use cognitive behavioral techniques including relaxation and imagery to help individuals manage symptoms. I am an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Re-Processing) clinician and am passionate about using EMDR with appropriate clients. With EMDR I am amazed at what powerful growth and healing can occur. I work with individuals to help them identify and integrate their own inner-conflict and I also use psycho-educational methods to help individuals understand why they may be experiencing certain symptoms and what they can do to manage and/or reduce frequency and/or strength of those symptoms.

More Info About My Practice

Life is a Journey...! I would be honored to walk with you on your journey!! We will work collaboratively as you re-learn new ways of being and feeling, moving toward fullfillment and inner peace. Your goals may be to have a better relationship with others, or with yourself; it may be to get rid of that anxious feeling in your chest; it may be to get rid of the blues; stop over thinking things or maybe to discover what new steps to take after a life changing event. Your goals will direct our work together. At my office you will be met with a safe, confidential, calming environment in which we will work toward meeting your goals.
