about Verbum
My Story
Having experienced the positive effects of therapy for myself and my family, I was inspired to open Verbum Counseling and offer those same life-changing services to others in my community. My clinical counseling, human development, and educational experience have uniquely prepared me to provide therapy for a wide range of clients from adolescence into late adulthood. My training includes a variety of techniques and interventions, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), parts work, expressive arts, mindfulness, grief and loss, trauma, CBT, attachment theory, and sand tray to help meet your therapeutic needs in ways that resonate with you.
My Philosophy
At Verbum Counseling, you are welcomed just as you are. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, life transitions, relational conflicts, or parenting concerns , I am here to offer a supportive, compassionate therapy environment that inspires personal growth and change.
