LMHC, 35 years of experience
I would like to provide people with the best possible counseling to meet them where they are at. I am person centered and am aware everyone is different and have different needs and goals important to be aware of in the counseling process. I have been in the field for over 30 years working with those with all diagnoses especially anxiety, depression and substance use. I also have experience working with children, adolescents and teens. I offer strategies to ease the symptoms of these to then be able to work on changing thoughts to then change behaviors. I am motivated to help you to be able to manage your symptoms and become aware that you can control your thoughts and behaviors and improve your quality of life.
Low key intro session getting to know one another. I feel it is very important to build that therapeutic alliance.
