Counseling is a process that works well when you feel accepted as you are and are able to honestly reveal yourself and your problems to an empathetic and experienced therapist. It is a collaborative process that combines the expertise of the therapist with the life experience of the client. As a therapist with over 30 years of experience helping people; I use methods that are tailored to your problem(s), personality, and preferences. I have worked extensively with people dealing with current and past stressors and traumas. I specialize in working with first responders and with those who experienced sexual trauma. I am also trained in EMDR. Is a satisfying life, a life worth living, difficult for you to envision and/or create? Life is often very hard, especially when struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship problems and other psychological concerns. It is not uncommon, even for very strong people, to feel overwhelmed and unable to cope or incapable of making desired changes. At these times, a skilled and caring counselor may help you to find your way to a better life. Together, we can address areas of pain and create needed change.
