About me
Hi! I am a licensed mental health counselor living in Savannah, GA. I am licensed in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. I have been in the mental health field for 15 years. I have worked in a variety of settings including community based support, inpatient, partial hospital, and integrated primary care settings. I tend to utilize interventions across CBT, DBT, with a foundation of life experience, circumstance, and trauma stored within the body. I work with my clients to determine what goals and success means for them and I aim to create an open and safe environment where we can learn and grow together.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In the first session with me, I will ask some exploratory information to learn about your presenting concerns and symptoms and learn what you hope to achieve in our work together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I operate from a person-centered approach with an emphasis on authentic expression and coping with a over-stimulating society.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with clients who are open to discussing trauma and life experiences and how they impact and shape our day to day patterns.
