Often clients tell me that the tried therapy but it didn't work for them because of the therapy approach. My experience is very diverse and I work with your individual personality and needs to find approaches that are healing. My experience includes individual counseling with adults and children, adolescents, marriage preparation. I continually update my clinical skills to include new insights that are available to mental health practitioners. I offer clients a variety of approaches so that treatment is customized to you. Some of the new approaches are the role of attachment in our early life and its lasting effect on our personality and sense of self-worth. Another new area is the importance of somatic or body work in our health and ability to feel relaxed, safe and connected. The role of memory and trauma in our ability to function in daily life with a sense of self agency and self-regulation. I include these approaches and others as I develop your treatment plan. I include your spiritual orientation as part of the counseling process and as a resource for healing.
