I obtained my undergraduate degree from Cedarville College (now Cedarville University) and completed my Master’s Degree at California State University, Fresno. I have been in the mental health field for over 30 years in a variety of settings including substance abuse/addiction treatment, community mental health, adolescent residential treatment, and now, private practice. I really enjoy working with people from a Christian perspective.
If you’re in a relationship (family, friend, significant other) that feels uncomfortable for any reason, you may need to learn how to communicate more effectively to get your needs met. Do you often find yourself feeling defensive, shamed, or judged? Often, difficulties arise from a lack of conflict resolution skills. The good news is, those can be learned. Or maybe you’ve been through a traumatic experience that you’ve been avoiding talking about, but you know deep down it’s somehow getting in your way. That can be overcome as well. If you’re looking for closer relationships or deeper meaning in your life, I’d like to help.
I believe people can and do change when they decide it’s time. I love working with families, couples, and individuals who have decided that it’s time to try different ways of resolving a problem. I’m also trained in EMDR and can use it even in virtual sessions to help people with serious trauma issues and PTSD.
I know it isn’t easy to connect with a complete stranger about such personal matters, but I would love an opportunity to work with you toward building the skills and confidence necessary to make the kind of changes you want, and need, to make. You don’t have to commit right now. Just call or email, and let’s talk. I do free consultations.
