About me
I am a licensed mental health counselor. I have been in the field for 11 years. I have worked with high risk populations, inpatient as well as community mental health. Because of my work and personal experiences, I have found that the best technique is to meet people where they are currently in life. Therapy can be intimidating. It is important to me to build a rapport so that we can successful meet your treatment goals. I specialize in working with those who suffer from Anxiety, Depression Bipolar Disorder and Trauma.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In the first session, clients can expect the rapport building to begin. This is the time to ask questions, get clarity and voice any concerns that they may have about my therapeutic approach and or the therapeutic process. Using a collaborative approach, we will come up your goals and how I plan to assist you in meeting those goals.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths as a provider are, being upfront and honest. I utilize language in which my clients can understand as therapy in its self can be challenging enough. I am warm and empathetic and I encourage clients to be themselves without judgement.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I like to collaborate as well as teach clients that they do have alternative choices and that they can have a different outlook of their future despite their past experiences. My client's are eager to learn new techniques as well as how their past experiences shape the way that they think and interact with others.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize CBT to help challenge old/current ways of thinking, by introducing new ways to look at symptoms and daily stressors.
EMDR
I utilize EMDR to assist clients in working through traumatic experiences, that continue to have a negative impact on their mental, emotional and physical health.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Parts work or Internal Family Systems is one of my favorite treatment methods. I believe that it helps clients get a deeper understanding as to what certain emotions, behaviors, physical sensations are trying get us to pay attention too. I introduce my clients to this process pretty early on. I find It beneficial in helping them to understand underlying emotions that are being suppressed and in turn making symptoms feel worse than they need to.
