I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, and Nationally Certified Counselor with experience in hospital, inpatient substance use and mental health stabilization, outpatient, private practice. I earned master’s degrees from Wake Forest University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Duke University in Divinity and am pursuing a doctorate at UNC Greensboro. As a Marine Corps combat veteran, former hospital chaplain and law enforcement officer, I bring a broad perspective to my work and provide services in Spanish and English.

I take a direct, transparent, and collaborative approach, focusing on understanding and addressing the root causes of symptoms while helping patients learn to manage them. I create a respectful space where patients can speak openly about difficult experiences, including trauma, while working together to establish realistic goals that support progress.

I begin with a thorough assessment of each patient’s history, concerns, and goals. I use standardized measures for depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma to establish baselines and track progress, then develop a treatment plan with clear, measurable goals. We review progress regularly and adjust treatment as needed, using evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches tailored to each patient.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Arizona, Ohio, Minnesota, and Indiana. I earned my Honors Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have over 25 years of experience supporting adults in community public health, private practice, and inpatient and outpatient settings.

I specialize in EMDR for trauma and PTSD, as well as women’s and menopause concerns, faith crises, substance use, and other mental health concerns. My approach is open, accepting, warm, and friendly. I meet you where you are and provide client-centered, holistic, and trauma-informed care. Faith-based therapy is also available when requested.

In our first few sessions, I work with you to understand your current needs while exploring past patterns that may be affecting your well-being. Together, we identify areas for growth and develop a personalized approach to support your goals.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with most of my experience in outpatient settings, along with inpatient experience. I am a graduate of SUNY Brockport and Roberts Wesleyan College, both in Rochester, NY.

I believe counseling should be client-driven. I am compassionate, approachable, and engage easily with clients. If our direction does not feel right for you, we can revisit treatment options and forge a new path toward your goals. Some clients prefer structured CBT, while others simply need a safe space to talk. I value both approaches and others.

We begin with an assessment to understand your history, current concerns, and goals. Together, we develop a treatment plan and identify practical ways to help you achieve those goals. I remain open to adjusting our approach as your needs evolve.

I have experience working with children, adults, and couples, as well as providing supervision to mental health professionals.

I believe clients already possess strengths; my role is to help them recognize and reach their full potential. My approach is curious, thoughtful, and analytical. I work collaboratively to explore thought patterns, behaviors, and emotional responses, identify obstacles, and develop practical, strength-based solutions. Our first session is warm, comfortable, and productive.

I complete an initial assessment/interview and review case history, determine a diagnosis from the client’s report of symptoms, and identify what they specifically desire to change in therapy. We then develop an individualized treatment plan based on their goals and begin education about specific interventions.

I begin by understanding each client's unique experiences, concerns, strengths, and goals. I may use CBT, ACT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy to develop an individualized approach.
