Hi there, I'm Bonnie!

I specialize in trauma, veterans, and couples counseling. My approach is client-centered, working toward the goals you want in solution-focused therapy. I have a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and values, which informs how I understand and support each person's unique experience.

My focus

I work best with motivated clients who engage actively in therapy. I help people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, grief, and interpersonal relationship challenges. My goal is to reduce or alleviate symptoms and support meaningful change in your life.

My approach

I use motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR for trauma resolution. I'm also trained in couples counseling. Research shows that feeling comfortable, safe, and trusting is essential for effective therapy, regardless of the specific technique we use together.
