Introduction

My approach is that I believe that humans are unique and complex beings consisting of many layers. My role is to walk with you as you uncover and discover what makes you the unique individual you are while helping you to learn new things about yourself, your relationships, and the world.. My experience began by counseling inmates at the Allegheny County Jail. I continued at two churches providing Grief and Loss Counseling. As I decided to further my education, I attended Clinical Pastoral Education at the Department of Veterans Affairs and for the next six years, I provided behavioral health care for Veterans and held groups focusing on Veterans who were suffering from PTSD. I also did one year in the VA Simulation program, creating curriculums for integrating mental health care with medical care to teach the medical staff about behavioral health. I worked with clients who have been diagnosed with Severe and Persistent Mental Illness, mostly clients who have had a Schizophrenia diagnosis and I have worked for several years in an Adult Outpatient Community Mental health setting caring for clients with a wide variety of mental health issues. I have completed all the State of Oregon requirements and passed my competency exam. I am currently licensed in the state of Oregon. I am an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) Trauma Therapist and practice a Somatic and Attachment approach to EMDR. I am Certified by EMDRIA the International Association for EMDR
