I was raised in Minnesota and later moved to California, where I earned my MSW at Loma Linda University. I spent five years working with the homeless population before transitioning to a more therapeutic setting. Although I initially began as a group therapist, my focus has shifted to individual therapy.

In my practice, I employ a non-judgmental and person-centered approach. I integrate motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) modalities. Additionally, I may incorporate dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills during the therapeutic process. I am committed to helping individuals establish and work towards ongoing goals, recognizing and respecting the existence of limitations in the therapeutic journey. I create a supportive space where people can use their natural abilities to grow personally and overcome their challenges.

I believe that everyone can reach an optimum state of health. I employ an eclectic (or including all kinds of therapy types) approach with a strong reliance on cognitive-behavioral aspects. I am trained in EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, PCIT therapy, Infant/Toddler Mental Health, mindfulness techniques, and possess a certificate in Substance Abuse Treatment. I also have several years experience and training with sexual assault and domestic violence. 

For my formal education and training; after completing my bachelor degree and obtaining a Substance Abuse Certificate, I realized I was not able to assist clients with trauma or other issues. So, I went back to school to get the degree I needed to be able to help all the people who came to me. Now, I have a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling.

My career began with teenagers in residential treatment for substance abuse, after this I worked with a younger group of 5-11 year olds in residential treatment for behavior problems. From there I moved to adults with legal issues and substance abuse, while having a second job as a sexual assault counselor. I have worked with very young children, under 1 year old and their parents, as well as older adults who are in need of resolving old conflicts in their past so they can look forward to the future and all others in between.  

The therapy techniques we use depend on you and what works best for you, this is a team effort with you in the lead. Let’s talk about how I can help you today. I welcome all ages and backgrounds.

My background includes a Master’s Degree in Dance/Movement Therapy, with over 41 years of experience working with people of all ages, backgrounds and orientations. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques, depending on what works best for each individual. I have over 100 hours of training in grief and loss, with five years of experience working for a hospice organization. I also have many hours of continuing education in the area of trauma, and how to help people not only cope with, but move past the trauma to live more fulfilled lives. In addition to insight-oriented and cognitive therapy approaches, I am excited to incorporate the Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) into my practice.

My approach is person centered and strengths-based, seeing each person as the expert on themselves and emphasizing strengths rather than problems. I offer support, teach skills, and provide a safe and comfortable space for you to express yourself and explore feelings. Although therapy is work, I incorporate humor in my practice. As a dancer and dance/movement therapist, I appreciate the concepts of the mind-body connection, as what affects the mind or emotions, affects the body, and vise a versa. For this reason, I often encourage people to participate in activities that will engage both mind and body.

I have also lead many groups, including dance/movement therapy groups, grief support groups, and groups for specific populations (ie, Geriatric, Schizophrenic, deaf children). I have taught dance, worked as an artist model, and set up a peer mediation program for a Jr. High and High School in Arizona. I have been a dancer (ballet, modern), an inline skater, a skier, and hiker. Lately, I have enjoyed gardening and landscaping, taking drives to the beach, and watching British television. I have lived long enough to see how we reinvent ourselves over time, and I continue to do that. I feel this experience gives me empathy to help others reinvent themselves also.

You are here. So, you are motivated to make change! I know life is challenging! It brings many hardships and sometimes, we might need a little support navigating them. My goal is to create a safe space where we can be open, honest, and authentic in our communication, and work collaboratively together to navigate the obstacles preventing you from reaching your full potential. I have experience working with youth and adults. I offer support in a wide range of issues including anxiety, family relationship concerns, racial identity, and trauma.

I’ve seen how culture and ethnicity can influence the realm of therapy. As a black clinician, I naturally specialize in understanding the needs of people of color and can relate to their experiences, and I’m equally passionate about supporting and guiding individuals from all backgrounds.

"As an Indigenous therapist, I acknowledge that each person has unique challenges and strengths in navigating complex life experiences. My approach to therapy is grounded in a holistic perspective, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. I draw on evidence-based practices like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to provide personalized and culturally sensitive care.  

My therapeutic style is collaborative and supportive. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without fear. Together, we'll work to develop coping skills, enhance self-awareness, and cultivate resilience. With a Master's degree in Applied Psychological Science focused on integrating counseling skills with research, and experience working with Indigenous communities, I bring a deep understanding of cultural nuances and systemic factors that impact mental health. I am committed to empowering clients to heal and grow and I believe everyone deserves access to quality mental health care. If you're ready to start therapy, I'm here to listen."

I believe that people have a choice about their behavior, but they are also a product of their environment and experience, influenced by culture and relationships. I work with my clients to raise awareness of their motivations and goals, and to gain control of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The client is the expert on their own experience, and the counselor is the expert on change who helps the client recognize their strengths for overcoming barriers. I build a therapeutic relationship with clients based on empathy, curiosity, and respect. I celebrate diversity and I advocate for people from all populations, especially those from marginalized and oppressed groups.

Prior to becoming a counselor, I was an advocate for victims of crime, specializing in domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking. I have specialized training in the dynamics of abusive relationships and trauma-informed care. I am also passionate about supporting first responders, veterans, caregivers, and people who frequently witness or hear about trauma in their professional or personal lives.

Additionally, I have been an elementary school counselor, so I like working with children and families on social emotional development. My theoretical approach to counseling is based on cognitive behavioral therapy with influences from narrative therapy, motivational interviewing and mindfulness. One of my favorite quotes by Maya Angelou summarizes my feelings about counseling:

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

I believe that recovery is accomplished through self acceptance, healing of past trauma, and the exploration and development of meaning and purpose in your life. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and client-driven, and I am trained in multiple evidence based practices, which can be utilized in an eclectic approach to tailor each participant's treatment to their own experience and preferences.

I completed two Master’s degree programs at Ottawa University, one in Professional Counseling and one in Substance Abuse Counseling. I completed EMDR training through the EMDR Institute, Inc. in July 2016. I completed the requirements to become a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional in August of 2020.

I have been a licensed therapist for 12 years, and my work initially focused on treating clients struggling with substance abuse, then shifted to working with clients experiencing SMI, and then moved to working in group practice settings with clients from all walks of life.

My goal as your therapist is to provide a safe, empathetic space for you to express your thoughts and emotions as we work together, exploring your goals and finding new paths to meet the challenges in your life. 

No one type of therapy works with every person or issue. My integrative approach is tailored for your specific needs.  I have a strength based, person centered approach to therapy which is trauma informed and incorporates relational and psycho-dynamic therapy as well as aspects of cognitive therapy and mindfulness-based techniques. I also provide EMDR therapy for clients who are struggling with past or current trauma issues.

I hold a master’s degree in Professional Mental Health Counseling from Lewis & Clark College. My professional counseling experience and training includes working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, trauma and crisis counseling, and emotionally focused therapy.  I have had the opportunity to provide support to individuals in all stages of life, from college students to senior adults experiencing anxiety, depression, work stress and relationship issues and life transitions.

I am a licensed professional counselor specializing in trauma, mood disorders, behavior issues and various other challenges faced by adults and children alike. Over the past 14+ years I have worked everywhere from residential and intensive in-home programs to outpatient and independent living working with people of all ages and their families to help them better understand the roots of their struggles and practice strategies that help them to achieve their goals and live happier lives.

Currently, my focus is on providing EMDR both in person and virtually as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and family therapy through my foundations in Collaborative Problem Solving. Collaboration and Transparency are very important to me, so expect to establish goals that matter to you, understand your diagnoses and treatment plan, and know why and how we are approaching these things in therapy.

Regardless of approach, there is nothing more satisfying than giving adults, kids, and families the tools to succeed by whatever metric is most meaningful to them.
