I am a counselor and a behavior analyst. I combine counseling with applied behavior analysis techniques. While counseling provides new perspectives, personal growth, and self-awareness, behavior therapy can identify and change behavior patterns, and even thinking patterns. Both therapies together can be very effective in meaningful change that lasts. I work with all ages and all individuals. I focus on coping skills, self-esteem, trauma issues, self-regulation, and achieving healthy self-care and independence.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together we will make at least three specific goals that you'd like to work toward. We'll talk about your life and we'll talk out your concerns.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I provide a safe and confidential space for you to explore difficult emotions and experiences. I offer a nonjudgemental and open-minded space that allows you to feel heard and understood. My strengths are responsiveness and good communication. I am very empathetic. Together, we will work to develop insight, identify obstacles, and create goals that support your desired change. I also have extensive experience in the special needs community.
