ABOUT ME
I believe in the inherent capability of any individual or organization to grow and change for the better. And I believe that most individuals have the willingness to do the hard work necessary for that change to happen. The problem is that many individuals don't have the knowledge, skills or experience necessary to make the change they want.
It has been my life-long goal to help people and organizations make the changes they desire, and sometimes need, to function as effectively as possible. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, with many years’ experience helping, leading and managing others, I have the knowledge, skills and experience to help people and organizations achieve the changes they desire.
As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) with extensive training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, I am especially capable of helping people who have suffered any type of trauma as children or adults.
