I am a certified school counselor (K-12) and a licensed professional counselor.  Helping people  is my passion.  For the past 25 years, it has been my privilege to serve in schools, private practice, and behavioral healthcare facilities.  During this time, I have been fortunate enough to obtain a significant amount of professional training and experience, specifically related to children and adolescents.  My preferred and most utilized modalities for therapy are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Parent Management Training..  I have extensive training from The Beck Institute of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to practice CBT, which is an evidence-based approach to therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression.  During my employment in behavioral healthcare, I was trained in Parent Child Interactive Therapy, which is an evidence-based form of therapy for children and their caregivers who are experiencing behavioral issues and ADHD.  Using these proven and effective strategies, I am able to promote parenting strategies that serve to enhance communication and relationships between children with disruptive behaviors and their parents.
