I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience in counseling/psychology. I have an excellent reputation for organization, dependability, and effective communication with others. I also recognize the importance of acknowledging different cultural backgrounds and how culture can play such an important role in the healing process. I have provided advocacy and counseling to victims of crime such as domestic violence and sexual assault victims for many years. I have accompanied family members to court for homicide trials and have helped the family to write their victim impact statements as well. I have provided services for trauma survivors, anxiety disorders, depression, and bipolar disorders also. I have worked diligently with those who are affected by grief and loss, relationship issues, as well as those who have self esteem issues or who are coping with change of life issues. I have felt that my life’s work as a counselor has always been my calling in life. I strive to provide comfort and assistance through my counseling services. I feel my methodology is client centered and solution focused, and I believe my practice is warm, genuine, and assuring.
