Hi, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of experience in the behavioral health field. I have worked with clients of all ages to address various mental health concerns, as well as substance use issues. I have worked on an inpatient unit, treatment center, school based and outpatient settings. I am passionate about providing that support and empowering you with tools and techniques to help you face those challenges.
First sessions can be scary if you don't know what to expect. I want to help ease those fears about coming to therapy and answer any questions about the process you have. I will also take this time to get to know more about you so we can develop a plan to start your journey to a healthier and happier you.
Having worked in the behavioral health field for many years, I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of ages and challenges, from childhood ADHD to severe mental illness, and strive to understand my clients' unique experiences. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth and self-discovery. I bring genuineness and unconditional positive regard, with a dash of humor when needed.
My eclectic approach allows me to draw from various therapeutic modalities and techniques, depending on the specific needs and preferences of each client. I believe that no single approach fits all, and by utilizing a range of evidence-based interventions, such as CBT and Solution Focused, I can tailor my therapy to best meet the unique needs of each individual.
