Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC)
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and expressive arts facilitator who works with teens, adults and families. I specialize in separation and divorce recovery, working with single parents, both as individuals and families. Additionally, I facilitate the DBT groups for parents, teens and young adults.
I realize that no single approach is best for every individual. I therefore utilize a variety of techniques, therapeutic approaches and a broad range of creative modalities to facilitate solution-focused healing, trauma resolution, positive change and personal growth. I believe my role as a therapist is to empower clients to believe in themselves, support them in the process of feeling in control of their lives and provide useful and effective life-management skills.
