I have a masters degree in counseling and I am an LPC, which means licensed professional counselor. I am also a Certified Family Development Specialist, Court Approved Mediator, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist. I am a state approved counseling supervisor, but I am not currently doing any supervision. I was formerly a provider with Betterhelp online counseling services. I have almost 20 years experience working with children, teens, adults, families and couples on issues such as addiction, parenting, relational conflict, self esteem, depression, anxiety, AD/HD, mood disorders, foster care placement, adoption, abuse, trauma and behavioral disorders. I’ve received training in a variety of treatment theories/modalities to include EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Hypnosis, Compassionate Inquiry and Somatic Embodiment. I draw from a variety of approaches/modalities to address the individual needs of each person/family rather than having a blanket approach to all situations.
