It’s great to meet you here on my corner of the Positive Counseling Center website! I quite enjoy helping people create the life they want and heal from negative experiences that seem to get in their way of having a satisfying life; a life that motivates people to get up each day with a renewed sense of hope and vigor. Using my years in the mental health field as a licensed therapist, previous career path in finance, work and studies in theological and spiritual domains, and insight into a wide array of other knowledge realms, my goal is to collaborate with my clients in creating a plan of action that will help them get to where they want to be in their life. I use a variety of treatment methods, and work to tailor treatment to each client’s individual needs. Working from a mind-body-spirit perspective, I enjoy utilizing eclectic approaches including energy psychology (Emotional Freedom Techniques, Matrix Reimprinting, Comprehensive Energy Psychology), Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Gestalt-oriented therapy, attachment-based therapy, and Family Systems Therapy. I particularly enjoy helping people recover and heal from negative or traumatic religious/spiritual experiences, and at the same time those that wish to integrate their spirituality into the work we do together. My style is decidedly interactive and I am unabashedly warm. I believe in my clients even when they find it challenging to believe in themselves. If my approach and background feels like a good fit, and you are ready to get started, I look forward to meeting you!
