A New Page Counseling, LLC

I am a military veteran’s wife and transplant recipient. I started this path after realizing that services for mental health were limited for military families and through understanding that once someone is discharged from a hospital, their journey to recovery does not end. Over the years, I have talked with people who have experienced sexual trauma, domestic violence, and mental trauma but felt they could not turn to anyone. I wanted to be more than a listener and become a person who helps people toward change. As I continued in the field, I worked with people struggling with addiction, chronic illness, trauma, and mood and personality disorders. Eventually, I got trained in dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, narrative therapy, relapse prevention, and motivational interviewing to better partner with clients on their mental health journeys.

My personality and style exude empathy, warmth, and compassion, which allow me to build an open and trusting relationship with my clients, to make it client-centered. I have personally navigated many challenging life circumstances and utilized various healing methods on my own healing journey. I am a problem-solver and helper by nature and I utilize all the resources and skills I have to help my clients with their presenting needs.

Like many, I am very excited about telehealth and its developing acceptance. I provide online sessions. My online sessions are conducted through a secure website that is HIPPA compliant.

In response to recent COVID-19 concerns, I am assuring my clients that I am taking recommended precautions. To ensure the safety of my clients and myself services are being conducted via a HIPAA compliant virtual platform or in-person being 6 feet apart with a mask being worn when it is more than 2 people in the room. I will inform you when I am able to resume seeing clients in the office without masks.
