I have extensive experience as a school counselor, drug alcohol counselor and in my private practice helping adolescence navigate and work through issues regarding anxiety, school struggles and family conflict. I also assist and give parents skills in raising teens. My Masters Degree is in marriage counseling. My primary focus with married couples is a family systems and Gottman method approach which is researched based approaches to help couples work toward reconciliation by overcoming resentment and better communication in marriage. Lastly, I have close to 10 years experience working in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment.
I guide adolescence and adults with high anxiety through CBT and mindfulness approaches integrating this with spiritual principles such as prayer and scripture reading etc I effectively use the Gottman and family systems approach with couples.
My approach is a healthy balance between compassionately hearing a client's story/issues while also guiding client(s) toward change; that is navigating their journey to get unstuck. I often give "useful homework" that connects with what we cover in sessions.
