Trauma & Abuse Counseling

*CURRENTLY SEEING CLIENTS VIA TELETHERAPY*

ABOUT ME

Thank you for visiting my page! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years experience in the mental health field. I have worked in various settings including community mental health, hospice bereavement care, and private practice therapy.

My counseling approach is based on the belief that we were made for relationship. While relationship is ultimately meant for our good, it is also in and through relationship that we experience wounding and trauma. My conviction is that God wants to bring about restoration and healing in our lives, while evil works to kill, steal, and destroy.
My hope is to journey alongside of you with compassion and curiosity so that we can explore your story together. Let’s take back the ground that has been stolen from you.

My approach is influenced by attachment theory and by therapist and author, Dr. Dan Allender. An explanation of the Allender Theory can be found here. I am also trained in EMDR, an evidence-based therapy that is helpful in treating anxiety disorders, depression, complicated grief, trauma, and PTSD. To learn more about how EMDR works, click HERE.
