Hi, I'm Morgan! I'm happy you're here and taking the next steps in caring for your mental health. By day, I am a K-12 Certified School Counselor. My role includes individual and group counseling, suicide and threat assessment, truancy counseling and intervention, and crisis response management. In addition, I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor. Outside of my work as a school counselor over the last 9 years, I have also worked with at-risk youth, worked in wraparound services for children with autism, and worked in outpatient therapy with children, teens, and adults.
In a first session with me, you can expect a lot of rapport building and just getting to know each other. I will ask for some background of what brings you to therapy and what your goals will be. We won't deep dive too much on the first day, but will certainly build the foundation to get there!
I feel my greatest strength as a provider is my rapport-building. I take great pride in building trust with my students and clients and creating an environment that is comfortable and conducive to counseling.
CBT has been my preferred treatment method since I've started my counseling career. I have worked with clients and students to help them better understand the connection between our cognitions and behaviors, identify negative thought patterns and behaviors, and reframe them into more positive experiences.
