As a licensed professional counselor with over 30 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship dynamics. My practice is rooted in creating a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their inner experiences, develop self-awareness, and build healthier patterns of connection. Utilizing evidence-based modalities like EMDR, hypnosis, and expressive arts therapy, I work collaboratively to address issues such as grief, chronic illness, and life transitions.My clinical background includes specialized work with cancer patients, adolescents, and families, informed by decades of integrating personal insight with professional training. I prioritize client autonomy, emphasizing that growth often requires embracing discomfort while maintaining a foundation of trust and acceptance. Whether through in-person or online sessions, my goal remains fostering resilience and empowering clients to craft meaningful narratives about their lives.
