Life's path can be a very challenging road to travel, but an opportunity to grow, strengthen and help rebalance the mind, body & soul. Identifying roadblocks, the distorted thoughts that lead to faulty conclusions are the first steps to healing in this journey. People who find themselves trapped on the same dead end road are not always aware that they are using the same coping mechanisms to navigate through life. Being cognizant of these patterns create the opportunity to be on a different path necessary for growth & change. This therapeutic process is a courageous, life transforming experience. I can be your partner on this journey.
I am a Certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist trained through the Beck Institute in 2001, a Certified EMDR therapist trained via EMDR Institute, a former family caregiver, I am Trauma informed, and also have SA therapy experience in inpatient, IOP, and facilitated Early Recovery Groups.
The past 10 years I have worked with adults with complicated issues and with family members who struggle with the role of caregiver. A former caregiver myself this gives me a unique perspective and understanding of this experience. Having provided counseling since 1998 with substance abuse also add a different dimension in the therapeutic relationship.
