Great to meet you!

I have been a licensed counselor since 2007, practicing with a variety of topics and with a diverse intersecting populations. As a clinician, some of my strengths lie in assisting others who are discovering personal leadership and honoring natural healing abilities. I am a generalist but specialize with Women's Issues, Trauma, ADHD and Interpersonal Relationships. I offer consultations on Monday but have business hours M-Thur 8-2PM EST.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a variety of modalities that compliment each other to support individualized treatment. I work from a Narrative and Systems Approach, heavily utilizing Brief Solution Focused techniques. I also work within a Trauma Informed framework. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional II.

What you can expect from me

I believe with every fiber of my being we all have the answers we need. Somehow we get separated from our core strengths. You are the expert on you, you alone hold your truth. I am interested in your story and use the description, "enlightened witness" as a way to describe some of what I do in my work as a therapist and healer. I see myself as a fellow traveler, a helper, and a companion who "holds the lantern" to help guide people to see out of dark places and into their truth.
