Move toward a richer, more rewarding life.  I provide a caring, confidential environment in which you can identify and explore issues that may be getting in the way of you living a more fulfilled life. 

My niche is working with fire, law enforcement and emergency medical personnel when they have experienced a traumatic experience; the kind of trauma that keeps you from living your life fully and interferes with your daily living.

In addition to trauma work, I offer counseling for:

Grief and Loss-It’s hard to know where to turn when you are faced with grief and loss.  I can help you move, at your pace, through the emotions you are experiencing.
 
Depression-Loss of joy in your life, sleep disturbance, crying, irritable, persistent feelings of sadness, your family and friends notice you’re not yourself?  Let’s figure out how to get you back into a healthier life state.
 
Anxiety-Are you feeling ‘antsy’, uneasy, worried, fearful; to where it interrupts your daily activities; keeps you from living your life fully?  Let me teach you tools so you can learn to manage your anxiety and you can get the life back you want to be living.
 
Stress Reduction-Is stress getting in the way of enjoying life?  Allow me to teach you ways to reduce your stress with on the go tools as well as more in depth tools, so you can let the stress go and move on with your life.
 

Certified in the following techniques used:

 

Emotional Freedom Technique (AKA Tapping) – EFT is a mind-body method of tapping acupuncture points on your body with your fingertips while focusing on an issue or feeling you’re hoping to resolve.

Animal Assisted Therapy-an alternative or complimentary therapy that includes the use of animals, specifically Golden Retrievers, in treatment. 

Aromatherapy-use of pure (no chemicals, synthetics, toxins), therapeutic grade essential oils,  to assist in overall improvement of self, as well as combined with other modalities of treatment.
