Focused Awareness Counseling
About
I help adults, young adults, and seniors with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, and more. I help people discover their core issues and improve relationships with themselves and others.
Are you looking for support during a difficult time? Are you ready to make positive changes in your life? Are you ready to work through difficult feelings? Do you want to learn ways to calm down and relax? I know how to help you by using evidence-based interventions!
I use a client-centered approach where the relationship between client and therapist is most important. I am genuine and an empathic listener. I would like to work with you and provide a safe place for you to learn and grow!
In order to help clients succeed and grow, I have obtained specialized training in approaches that were developed to target difficult life experiences, such as trauma, treating people who have been directly affected by another person's drinking or substance use or are currently struggling with substance use themselves. EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is an evidence-based intervention that has been found effective in treating panic attacks, addictions, eating disorders, anxiety, trauma, and more.
Treatment is customized to your particular needs. Most of our attention will focus on your current strengths rather than weaknesses. We'll find past and present successes to address the challenges you are facing so that you can move forward successfully. You will learn new tools that have been found successful in helping people gain relief.
Finding a supportive counselor and caring environment is a great place to start on your path to personal growth. I would love to talk to you about your goals in therapy. Please check out my website and reach out for a free 15-minute phone consultation today!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It’s really easy to get started. You can schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation. I will send you a short questionnaire to complete and return before our consult. We will meet either by phone or online, and you can ask me any questions that you have and tell me a little about what’s been going on in your world. We can determine if I am the right counselor for your particular needs. If I am not I will provide you with a few referrals. I want to help you as much as I can in getting your counseling needs met. If we decide that we are a good fit, I will schedule your first appointment, email you a link to the client portal, and you will complete the intake documents and sign them electronically.
