I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor with a background in treating clients with anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, trauma and stress-related disorders, depressive disorders, and various other concerns. Additionally, I have experience working with neurodevelopment disorders. In our work together I will take a highly empathic and supportive approach. The most important aspect of your therapy is that you feel extremely comfortable sharing your inner world with me. There will never be a moment where I judge you. There's likely nothing you can say that would phase me.

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

Our first session will be the initial intake. During this session, I will gather a comprehensive background of you. I will learn about your reasons for starting therapy and your therapeutic goals. I will perform various assessments if necessary. Once I've gathered enough information I will provide you with treatment recommendations. This is also a great time to ask me any questions and ensure that I am a good fit for you.

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

One of my strengths is that I am well-attuned to my clients. I will notice things that others might not notice. I will point things out that others may not. I want you to see your truest self through my eyes.

My treatment methods

Person-centered (Rogerian)

In our work together, I will take a highly empathic and supportive approach. Our relationship will be the focus of our work together. As we build our relationship, you will discover your most authentic self.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Through CBT methods, you will gain a better understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We will work together to change maladaptive thinking patterns and behaviors.

Trauma Informed Care

Trauma-informed therapy will help you manage symptoms resulting from trauma. As trust is built, we can work to uncover and process past traumas.
