LPC, 16 years of experience
Do you feel overwhelmed? Like life just feels hard? Anxiety is messy, unpredictable, overpowering and insidious. It can feel terrible. Not just for the person who is experiencing it, but also for the people who love them. If you feel this way, you are not alone! I am here to help. The goal is not to get rid of your anxiety; the goal is to live your life despite it. It is not safety you are looking for, but courage. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am also a wife, a mother and a Christian woman. I am compassionate, understanding and empathetic. I am trained in many treatment interventions and I have been working in the field for over 16 years. Don't suffer alone, please book an appointment. I look forward to hearing from you!
A first therapy session, often called an "intake session," is primarily focused on getting to know you and your concerns, establishing a comfortable rapport with, and discussing your expectations for therapy while also covering important details like confidentiality and informed consent.
I am warm, compassionate, and empathetic. I am deeply committed to creating a safe and supportive space. I am highly attuned to a person's emotional needs and I use a range of techniques and approaches to help them develop greater self-awareness and self-acceptance.
Adults (25-65), Young adults (18-24), Adolescents (13-17) I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, families, and individuals across various age groups, addressing a spectrum of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues.
