Clients often describe me as warm, supportive, and deeply empatheticâa steady partner who helps them feel seen, safe, and empowered. For 22+ years Iâve blended heart and strategy across education, counseling, supervision, and organizational leadership. As CEO of DuraCARE Counseling & Consulting Services, I provide therapy, coaching, consulting, and professional development that are practical, ethical, and results-oriented. Consulting clients consistently note my years of expertise, business development know-how, and actionable playbooks for building quality, compliant, and values-driven mental health practices. đ¤
I deliver care that integrates mindâbodyâspirit and clear, teachable tools. Clinical services include trauma-informed therapy, play therapy, OCD treatment/ERP, CBT, EFT, mindfulness, sex therapy, and holistic/naturopathic interventions, plus clinical supervision. Iâm also an expert witness, custody evaluator, and CARF program reviewer, bringing a systems lens to both client care and program excellence. My speaking engagements, trainings, and workshops are interactive and practical. Audiences report being highly engaged, that objectives are crystal clear, and that sessions are informative and immediately useful, fueling continued growth for clinicians, schools, and organizations. đ¤đ
