I  am m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor with 15 years of clinical experience and over 20 years wording in the mental health field. 

I founded M. & S. Counseling Services in 2011 and have provided therapy for individuals in this private practice setting since its opening.  I have also worked in the VA system (for over a decade), in a non-profit setting, and community mental health.  

My personal style can be described as warm, encouraging, and connected.  I  am down  to earth and find humor as a helpful way to connect.  It is very important to me that my clients feel supported, understood, and motivated by the therapy process. I’m proud to provide quality services and own a therapy practice that fosters positive change.  

I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and Master Certified A.R.T Therapist.  I've been trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy,  CBT for Depression, and Prime for Life.

I use a combinations of these therapy approaches and will work with you to create a specialized treatment plan to fit your personal needs and strengths. I understand not one approach fits all.
