Therapist Overview
Online counseling available! If you’re worried about a loved one with substance use and/or mental health problems, I offer counseling to renew your own self-care while figuring out how to best support your loved one. Helping people close to those with substance use/psychiatric issues is one of my specialties. I am a social worker with 15 years of experience helping people create healthy change. I named my practice Many Paths Counseling because I feel there is more than one right way to feel better, find answers, heal from the past, and kindle hope for the future. Clients have said I am non-judgmental, genuine, patient, and focused. I also offer EMDR for anxiety relief and trauma resolution. Experiences of assault, abuse, neglect, injuries and accidents can all be reprocessed using this method. EMDR offers a path for resolving those past traumas so that we can move forward with less anxiety. Those experiencing anxiety, depression, problems with self-esteem and relationships are welcome
