LPCC, 5 years of experience
I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a passion for helping clients explore new perspectives on mental health. I specialize in working with first responders and their families, offering a relaxed and inviting approach that creates a safe space for growth and healing. I particularly enjoy supporting individuals who are navigating everyday stress and looking to build healthier coping strategies. I often say, “Our toolboxes need to be big—because life requires a lot of tools.” My goal is to help clients expand their toolkits so they feel more equipped and empowered in their daily lives.
The first session is a time to connect. This is done by asking each other questions to get acquainted and gather information. The first session is a time to finish up any paperwork. And most importantly set the goals you'd like to accomplish while working with me.
My therapeutic style is warm, conversational, and real — I meet you where you are without pressure or pretense. Clients often tell me they feel at ease in our sessions — I strive to create a space that’s welcoming, non-judgmental, and down-to-earth.
I believe I work best with individuals who have experienced trauma and are struggling to overcome and move past the trauma.
CBT is the modality I like to use initially while getting to know clients. I am also trained in Trauma focused CBT.
Brainspotting is a trauma focused treatment that allows a client to connect deeper into their bodies when processing trauma. I have taken multiple Brainspotting trainings and specifically, I have taken Brainspotting for first responders and military clients.
