I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified EMDR Therapist and National Certified Counselor. I have extensive training and experience in the assessment and treatment of individuals. I utilize many approaches in my work with clients. As a trauma and relational therapist, I primarily use a model developed by Pia Mellody, which focuses on healing childhood and relational trauma. In addition, I pull from therapeutic models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focus Therapy and Family Systems Therapy.
I am trained and certified as an Eye Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist. I utilize this trauma model with clients who are experiencing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or developmental trauma. These types of traumas have present day profound impact on adult interactions and relationships.
I offer private counseling to individuals seeking healing from developmental trauma, relational trauma and codependency. I specialize in treating trauma, PTSD, codependence, grief and loss issues, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, women’s issues and addiction.
I have over thirty years of clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings. I have maintained a private practice for over twenty years. I have written articles about emotional health and given presentations about mental health and wellness to both professionals and in community settings.
I moved to Coldwater, Michigan in 2015 where I now sustain a private practice. I am accepting new clients. Please leave a message on the confidential voicemail at 517-227-9030 and I will return your call.
