What's My Approach to Therapy?

An experienced licensed professional counselor (LPC) with over 25 years of post-master's experience, working with people across the lifespan, my hope is to work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, and relationships to improve their lives. I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief, and bereavement. I have expertise in working with people who struggle with addictions, anger management, antisocial behavior, personality and mood conditions, parenting and child issues, boundaries, family and couple issues, stress, trauma, military service, and other issues in working toward the reduction and improvement of pain and barriers to their best life.

I have experience in various therapy types, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment-based therapy, motivational interviewing (MI), solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), gestalt therapy, existential therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), Jungian therapy, and other therapy types.

I am able to take a variety of payment types, including Medicare, Medicaid, employee assistance programs (EAP), private insurance, and self-pay.

Excited to get to know you and work together to build up strength to overcome life's challenges.

My Practice & Services

Client centered, evidence based private practice accepting EAP, Private Pay and credentialed insurance plans. (Some aren't listed). Able to work with children through geriatrics with years of experience with each population. Special interest in trauma informed therapy as I believe we've all been through a little, but some have been through a lot. I believe in improving, healing, being able to function better as a result of mental health counselingtherapy, not only in basic care of self, prevention of aggression, reduction of impulsivity, obsessions, ruminating, and compulsive behaviors, to growth and better functioning with family, friends, peerscolleagues, at work, and in society at large. I do not provide spiritual counseling but we can consider the impact of spirituality on your healing process, when appropriate (I will refer to resources for additional spiritual guidance as that is not my specialty. I am interested in medical trauma and how to help with coping with grief, bereavement and medical issues, when needed.

My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy

My view on the purpose of psychotherapy is to provide a framework to recover, improve or heal past functioning to the highest level practical in the present and for the future, to the point where I am no longer needed (but available if or when needed again).
