I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker living in Nevada. I have been providing counseling services for 25 years I am returning here to BetterHelp after a 3 year hiatus due to other work demands. Counseling is an art as each individual, couple and/or family is unique and this requires creativity. I refer to myself as an eclectic therapist and like to meet the client where they are with empathy and compassion. I use “therapeutic-coaching” and draw from solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, psychodynamic, somantic healing, effective communication, internal family systems (IFS), couples therapy as well as attachment and family of origin issues. I have completed training as an Authentic Happiness Coach and I am a Certified Grief Counselor under David Kessler. I have completed one year at the Couples’ Institute and take classes on an ongoing basis. I consider it a honor to have served our military and their families for nearly 15 years. I believe that individuals seeking help/answers are the most courageous individuals. I salute you for taking time for yourself and for being willing to be vulnerable in finding answers. It is in our vulnerability that we find our strength! Looking forward to working with you!
