ABOUT ME.....

Hi, I’m Owner and Therapist with Lucid Counseling and Wellness.

I believe that all individuals have intrinsic value and worth and need to see that reflected in the eyes of another.  Often things happen in our lives that block our ability to see ourselves correctly or to build and maintain healthy relationships.  I approach counseling from a systemic, strength-based collaborative orientation.

I desire to be instrumental in helping you heal from traumas, shame and hurts in order to have the life you long for.  I want to help you explore and make the changes you desire.  I believe growth is most often born out of the struggles in our lives and that we need someone to walk alongside us as we journey toward health, wholeness, and healing.  I believe in hope: your story is not finished.  I love helping individuals, couples, children and families to craft a desirable next chapter.

​

I've worked with individuals, couples, whole families and individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities, because of the diversity of experiences and training I'm able to navigate difficult issues with a variety of models and interventions.

 I'm a  Nationally Certified Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (TF-CBT)-designed for children, adolescents and teens whom have experienced a significantly traumatic event.  I've received Training in Eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) an effective and efficient method of treating traumatic memories, provided by the Trauma Institute.

Additionally, I have significant training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to treat, depression, suicidality etc.  All in which were provided through The Beck Institute with Aaron Beck.

I specialize in helping couples learn to communicate, rebuild friendship and passion in their relationship, and repair from an affair or other attachment issues.

As a Level 3 Gottman-trained clinician, you can expect a thorough assessment process, clear treatment plan, and exercises that help you and your partner explore your relationship and needs at a deeper level.
