Life is difficult. There are so many things happening in the world right now. It can be hard to find someone who is free of burdens and turmoil in their own lives to talk to. Then there are those more specific things we may be dealing with that we cannot share with family or friends just yet. Counseling is a safe place to process and heal from most situations you may be facing right now whether it's relationship problems, job stress, time management or something more traumatic like domestic violence or a child who has experienced abuse. This is an opportunity to figure out how to start the healing process. For almost 20 years I have worked in many different areas of counseling. I specialize in working with those who have experienced trauma and grief. More specifically, I have worked with families and children (3-18) who have experienced trauma or abuse in their homes or families. I am certified as a Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (TF-CBT). There is nothing easy about starting a deeply personal conversation with someone who is a stranger. My role is to offer support, guidance, insight and, at times, education to help people better understand their responses and find the best way to healing for them. Let me know how I can help.
