Thank you for viewing my profile. I understand how difficult the task of finding a therapist can be. My hope is that you will embrace the counseling process through open and honest communication with me. I, in turn, will provide a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings. You will be treated with dignity and respect, and our therapeutic relationship will be professional and ethical. I am best suited to treat individuals who experience depression/anxiety, grief/loss/transition(with humans as well as pets)and trauma related to Post Traumatic Stress.(PTSD).
My specialty is trauma recovery. I am a Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist. IFS (Internal Family Systems) is a model of psychotherapy developed by Richard Schwartz, PhD. For more info, visit www.selfleadership.org. I also have special training in pet loss and bereavement counseling.

Sometimes, tremendous grief is felt when a beloved animal companion leaves us in this life. The goal of the support group is to honor this unique human/animal bond by providing a safe, respectful place to grieve. Time will be spent in reflection and sharing about our relationships with these special creatures. All are encouraged to bring photos or other articles of meaning to share with the group.
