    Your counseling experience needs to be unique and meaningful. As a therapist, we will focus on your strengths while exploring deeper emotions and behaviors. My approach is based on your personal goals and hopes for change while understanding both the physical and emotional self. Also, working as a medical social worker, I assist individuals during unforeseen health struggles while providing resources and emotional support during these difficult times. My approach to therapy includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Positive Psychology, and Solution-Focused modalities. In addition, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. To learn more about EMDR, click on the link https://www.emdria.org/about-emdr-therapy/ 

    To achieve balance in my life, I spend time with my husband, young adult children, and three dogs. Nature, traveling, and connecting with people are examples of my appreciation for the beauty of our diverse world.
