Believing firmly in Cochran and Cochran's (2015) assertion that the therapeutic relationship between counselor and client is a potent force for change, I dedicate myself to guiding individuals through life's transitions with resilience and compassion. My specialized approach empowers clients to navigate challenging periods, fostering greater well-being through personalized support and collaboration. Together, we embark on a journey of self-discovery, ensuring no challenge is insurmountable. As a therapist, I am committed to evidence-based practices, particularly in cognitive therapies, which enable clients to reshape thought patterns and develop effective coping strategies. I specialize in addressing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), employing trauma-focused interventions and mindfulness techniques to reduce distress. With over 28 years of experience working with diverse clients in various settings, including private practice and mental health agencies, I am a licensed clinical social worker and board-certified specialist in areas including sex offender treatment and PTSD. Please feel free to contact to me if you are interested in beginning therapy.
