Counseling

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, practicing for over seventeen years.  As a therapist, my aim is to assist you in the journey of healing to access a place of calm and ease. I offer trauma focused modalities in order to bring awareness and relief to symptoms of anxiety and depression. My practice offers a comfortable space, affirmative and culturally sensitive approach.

I work with adults, providing individual and family therapy.  People often seek me out in order to lower levels of anxiety, overcome depression, elevate confidence, improve relationships, and recover from traumatic events.  Sometimes as humans we become stuck, where therapy allows us to gain awareness and break free from patterns that are no longer serving us.

Counseling consists of first coming in for an intake session for  about one hour to ninety minutes, for me to gain an understanding of what brings you in.  Then each ongoing session is about 50 minutes, first meeting weekly, then gradually moving to every other week.  Each person is different and so it is hard to give a specific time frame for therapy, we will co-evaluate this throughout the process.

I am eclectic in the therapeutic techniques I utilize, such as Strengths-based, Cognitive Behavioral, Trauma Recovery, Brainspotting, Relaxation Techniques, and Coping Skills training.  I often give readings or activities to work on outside of therapy, for you to implement new habits into daily life.  Each person is an individual, and will co- determine the best plan of action.

Cost: $180.00 per session Sliding scale is possible for low income.
