LPC, 20 years of experience
Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in supporting individuals navigating stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges. My expertise lies in guiding clients through various obstacles, fostering those pivotal ‘a-ha’ moments when they prove most beneficial. I believe in creating a safe and empathetic space for clients to explore their feelings, gain insights, and develop coping strategies. Together, we work towards positive change and personal growth.
In our collaborative journey, we will work together to define practical and attainable goals that are tailored to your unique circumstances and aspirations. Through our sessions, we will explore and implement skill-building strategies aimed at empowering you to address the identified needs effectively. Together, we will navigate challenges, celebrate progress, and cultivate a supportive environment for growth and positive change. Your journey is about more than just reaching goals; it's about gaining insight, building resilience, and discovering your strengths along the way.
As a committed clinician, my current focus is to offer genuine care and understanding tailored to each individual’s unique journey and extend empathetic support navigating your therapeutic journey. Your story is one-of-a-kind, and I'm genuinely motivated to be the supportive guide you need. In my therapeutic approach, I prioritize collaboration, engagement, and a directive approach. I prioritize authenticity throughout the therapeutic process, encouraging clients to embrace their true selves. While therapy is a serious undertaking, I've observed that the most profound connections with clients develop when they feel at ease discussing their concerns without undue pressure. Central to my philosophy is the incorporation of laughter as a valuable coping tool.
Over the course of my professional career, I have dedicated 14 years to serving the needs of our military personnel. These years have been filled with diverse and enriching experiences that have shaped the foundation of my practice. This extensive background is the driving force behind the exceptional value and personalized care that I am committed to providing in my work. It is my passion to draw upon this wealth of experience to support you in your journey towards growth, healing, and well-being.
My approach is collaborative, engaging, and directive. I utilize evidence-based practices and interventions. I value the therapeutic process and meet my clients where they are on their road to wellness.
I choose to use Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) because it emphasizes practical and goal-oriented strategies for helping clients make positive changes in their lives.
