Hello. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 21 years of experience in mental health with 17 years as a therapist. My passion is working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I believe in using a client-centered approach to assist in reaching personally identified goals of each individual person. When I'm not working, I am either spending time with my children or umpiring at the ballpark for both baseball and softball.
My therapy of choice is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy along with Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I value honesty and integrity. I expect this from my clients just as they do from me. I believe therapy needs to be a mix of serious discussions, engaging activities, and humorous at times. If I am not the best fit for a client, I will help them to find another therapist who is.
During the initial session, we will discuss past history, current concerns, and future plans. We will identify what your goals are for services and what strengths can be utilized to achieve those goals. This session is a chance to get to know each other and what expectations are on both sides. I look forward to meeting with you!
