Transitions are a natural and normal part of life. However, we can feel at times like we have no control over our own feelings, behaviors, or actions. This loss of control can happen slowly over time, or suddenly, depending on the circumstance. I have found that various trauma is often at the root cause of many struggling.
If it be within a group setting (IOP Services, LLC) or individual, I am a seasoned therapist with over 25 years of experience. I work with individuals in a collaborative effort to help them heal from depression, anxiety, military adjustments, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, codependency, stress management, life changes, and various types of grief. I guide clients in identifying problem areas and setting reasonable goals to achieve a desired outcome.
I combine various techniques including Positive Psychology, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gottman Method, and Emotionally Focused, within a compassionate and non-judgmental environment.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and hold certification as a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I also earned my doctorate in Education and have over 20 years of experience in various treatment settings including in home-services, mental health clients, school-based clinical services, and private practice. I enjoy spending time with my husband, three children, and our Bernedoodle, Duke.
