In addition I am a licensed addiction counselor, a retired Special Education teacher, and have numerous licenses in all subjects Education, having worked in school systems for most of my career. My true passion is using Gottman therapy to help families, individuals and couples develop strong relationships based on understanding and mutual respect. I have experience working with clients providing behavioral, emotional/trauma, substance abuse, brain injury, intellectual and developmental counseling as both a Counselor and a licensed Certified Rehabilitative Counselor. Additionally I have completed all three levels of Gottman Clinical Trainings, as well as being a Seven Principles of Marriage Educator and Bringing Baby Home Educator. I have experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It is important to me to listen carefully and patiently to you, and to make sure I am meeting your needs. The step to start therapy can be anxiety provoking in itself, and I am here in order to help you take the necessary steps you need to take. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! Read more Show less
