Great to meet you!

Practicing from a down-to-earth perspective, I try to work largely from what I have learned from life itself. I have a large family which teaches me about life everyday.

I earned an MSW at West Virginia University, and I am certified as a Trauma Therapist from the University at Buffalo.

I tend to be direct in working with folks, but my clients tell me they always know I care about them and their lives. I hope you find just the right fit as you look for someone to support you on your own journey.

My approach to therapy

Using numerous models of treatment including CBT, Trust Relational Interventions, Neuro-Functional approaches including Brainspotting, I don't follow one approach only, but rather choose from the many evidenced-based models available to find the ones my clients find helpful to their needs.

What you can expect from me

Each session I try to give the client a view of what might be ahead in reaching their therapy goal. I tend to give "homework", but it's never required. Clients tell me they don't always like to do homework, but it gives them a direction to think about between session.
