Welcome to my page and information about me, designed to help YOU make a choice about a counselor that is best for you. At CCA we all want you to find your best match. If we meet and I am not your cup of tea, call us and Tiara will help you find someone who may be a better fit.

Recently, I overheard a young client telling someone, “You know those therapy offices you see in the movies?  This place is like that.”  CCA was started because we wanted to create a safe and warm environment for clients and counselors.  The idea was to make counseling comfortable, visually interesting and a place to which people looked forward to coming.  The client's comment makes me think we are on the right track.

As for me, this career is not my first.  After working in the business world for 30 years, in a variety of capacities (childcare, food service--haven't we all, the trucking industry, nursing and medical care, the non-profit world, manufacturing, entrepreneurship and business consulting), I put down my calculator (I was a CPA) and became a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).

Currently, I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.  If you are dealing with issues related to relationships, divorce (beginning, middle or end), anxiety, depression, disordered eating, self-harm, trauma—acute (single incident) or chronic (prior or ongoing abuse) or typical life changes that get to all of us (myself included) from time to time, counseling can help.

If you are searching for a counselor who is practical but compassionate, down to earth, enjoys laughing (laughter is healing), understands real world problems both big and small, please reach out.

Specific training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and Gottman Method Couples Therapy.  Also CBT, Transactional Analysis, Person-Centered, Positive, ACT and others.
