Hello, perspective clients! I am an experienced clinical counselor who started over 20 years ago in child, adolescent, and family services. Due to my trauma experience, I could not resist joining the fight against terrorism when 911 happened. I turned my talent and expertise to active duty and veteran family services. I have a strong background in trauma treatment, substance use disorders, personality disorders, and adolescentteen issues. I have expertise in the therapeutic models of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (SUDS and trauma-focused), Cognitive Process Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered Planning. Please allow me to go on this journey of rediscovery with you and your family members.
