Trauma and loss can occur at any age and for this reason, I target treatments specific to the life stage in which the problem occurs. I believe that change is inevitable; however, how you navigate change has a direct impact on the quality of your life and on those around you. For growth to occur, it is vital healthy thoughts are established. As a Licensed Professional Counselor - Supervisor (LPCS) with over thirty years of clinical experience, it is my goal to help explore, implement, and support those decisions that will lead to improvement in a client's lives.

Adult Therapy

By the time a person reaches adulthood, unresolved past issues can affect their success and the way they view themselves and the world. Misbeliefs can stifle dreams and goals, which contribute to the inability to effectively handle new stressors or life problems. Therapy is geared to help adults re-evaluate their lives and challenge false beliefs that are stagnating their success in vocation, relationships, and family. Individual, family, and marital counseling services are available. Session rates are $125 for the initial assessment and $105 for 60 minute sessions.

I use a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Art Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to help adolescents develop emotional resilience, confidence, communication skills, and healthy decision-making abilities. Therapy provides teens with a safe, supportive environment where they can express themselves, process emotions, and learn effective coping strategies for challenges such as anxiety, stress, peer relationships, self-esteem, and family conflict.

In addition to traditional talk therapy, I incorporate somatic therapy, mindfulness techniques, strengths-based counseling, solution-focused therapy, and creative expressive interventions tailored to each teen’s unique personality and developmental stage. My goal is to help adolescents feel understood, empowered, and equipped with practical tools they can use in everyday life to build healthier relationships, improve emotional regulation, and grow into confident, emotionally healthy young adults.

EMDR for Trauma

ONE of our therapies used to resolve trauma is scientifically proven EMDR therapy. Using eye movements or other bilateral stimulation such as tappers, EMDR unlocks dysfunctional emotions trapped in the brain and body. As a result the core of depression, anxiety, rage reactions and the like can be cured at the source. EMDR is a more efficient, intense method and has been life changing for many of my clients.

Art Therapy is another way to express thoughts and emotions without putting them into words. The focus is not on the end product and requires no skills. We focus on the process of art and the brain is immediately rewarded by creating simple projects. Art Therapy stimulates different neural pathways in the brain linked to emotions. Clients that are afraid or reluctant to speak, find Art Therapy to be an easier way to express themselves. Art therapy is a faster way to get to know an individual, establish a relationship, develop trust, and allow for the expression of emotions. Sometimes, trauma and other problems are too difficult to speak about in the first few sessions of therapy. Art therapy is a perfect modality to help adolescents express themselves without having to speak. I use Art Therapy in conjunction with CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and other treatment modalities as needed to increase effectiveness.
