Hi, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of experience in the behavioral health field. I have worked with clients of all ages to address various mental health concerns, as well as substance use issues. I have worked on an inpatient unit, treatment center, school based and outpatient settings. I am passionate about providing that support and empowering you with tools and techniques to help you face those challenges.

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

First sessions can be scary if you don't know what to expect. I want to help ease those fears about coming to therapy and answer any questions about the process you have. I will also take this time to get to know more about you so we can develop a plan to start your journey to a healthier and happier you.

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

Having worked in the behavioral health field for many years, I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of ages and challenges, from childhood ADHD to severe mental illness, and strive to understand my clients' unique experiences. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth and self-discovery. I bring genuineness and unconditional positive regard, with a dash of humor when needed.

My treatment methods

Eclectic

My eclectic approach allows me to draw from various therapeutic modalities and techniques, depending on the specific needs and preferences of each client. I believe that no single approach fits all, and by utilizing a range of evidence-based interventions, such as CBT and Solution Focused, I can tailor my therapy to best meet the unique needs of each individual.
