I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) specializing in working with clients and families experiencing trauma, loss, prolonged separation, and adverse life experiences. I am scheduling new couple clients for the summer and fall of 2023.

 

My approach to counseling centers on the relational aspects of life, attachment, and integrates the whole-person and their experiences into the counseling process. I believe in fostering a safe, accepting, and supportive space for individuals, couples, and families to explore their experiences and seek resolution to areas where they feel stuck.

 

Some of the areas I specialize in working are:

• Couples and marital counseling

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and families

• Life transitions

• Grief, loss, and separation

• Trauma-focused approaches, TF-CBT, EMDR-trained

• Neurodivergence in children and adults

• Anxiety and panic

 

Creating a unique approach for each client is the center of my work. I enjoy integrating various approaches to help clients to resolve hurts, restore health, and work toward their desired goals and potential. It is important that clients feel seen, heard, and understood in the counseling space and beyond. My goal is to help clients feel connected to their life, and to feel fulfilled in their relationships with others.

 

I have experience working in group practice, hospital, and outpatient settings. This has allowed me to understand the various approaches and needs for clients and families. I am an Army veteran, and am also a doctoral student pursuing my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision (CES) with a passion for mentoring and leading others, and a desire to complete research on best practices for military families experiencing post traumatic stress.
