About
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have 20 years of counseling experience working with mental health disorders, eating disorders, and marital therapy. I take an emotion-focused and Jungian approach that allows for depth therapy. I also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills training to promote self-acceptance, non-judgment, and behavior change through teaching skills in the area of interpersonal effectiveness, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation. My therapeutic approach promotes an environment of acceptance and compassion that over time becomes an increasing internal experience. I have extensive experience working with marital therapy, spiritual direction and eating disorders. I worked in an inpatient facility for eating disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders, alongside years of private practice. I use DBT to build skills and use motivational interviewing to work with resistance, which reveals a person's fears and needs. As an LPC, I am also a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor with over 22 years of experience with substance use disorders, I offer assessments and counseling for substance use issues.
