Great to meet you!

  • If your faith is an important part of your decision making and if you want it to be a part of therapy, I'm happy to discuss it with you, and if not, then we won't. I am ordained in the United Methodist Church with my calling as a therapist, I am open to discussing faith perspectives with you as YOU are comfortable.
  • With years of experience, I am empathic to your situation and therefore, most often, able to relate to what you're going through.
  • I have 33 years of counseling experience.
  • I'm credentialed as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - with Supervision capacity and certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional, and Integrative Mental Health Professional. (That has to do with what we eat affects our mood.)
  • I support mindfulness practices, learning about codependence, boundary setting as well as caring assertiveness practices.
  • I love working with adults and couples.
  • We will review the 5 pillars of self care so my clients are cognizant of self-care practices that holistically affect our health and well-being.
  • I am married with 3 adult children and 4 grandchildren along with two mini-golden doodles.

My approach to therapy

  • I celebrate with clients the small steps that are accomplished on the way to the primary end goal.
  • My desire is to walk along side clients. encouraging them and sharing proven interventions to help them with whatever it is they're going through, and I do give homework, and will suggest helpful books as part of the journey to full health and wholeness.
  • I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, with an emphasis on Poly-Vagal therapy for trauma, along with Empathy, and Prayer if the client is comfortable with it.

What you can expect from me

  • I will tell you a little about me, and how I work, and tell more about confidentiality and terms of the therapeutic relationship.
  • I want to get to know you and discern if I'm a good fit for the reason you are coming to counseling. At the end of session, I let you know if I think we would be a good fit and ask you if you agree. If we agree, then we will start to set appointments. I like for us to meet at least every other week and hopefully on the same day and time.
  • Learning about why you are coming to therapy NOW is important to me as well as, what you hope to have different in your life in the next 3 months so we can start to think about goals.
