LMHC, 15 years of experience
I am a licensed mental health counselor with a background in health care. I primarily work with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues as well as, women in transition. Prior to pursuing a career in mental health, I worked in the healthcare field. Both disciplines have provided experience and a global personal/professional expertise in understanding the challenges faced both physically and emotionally by my clients. My goal is to help clients progress in healthy, positive, and productive ways and become the best possible version of themselves.
With a compassionate approach and understanding, I am here to support you on your journey to well-being. Let's work together to navigate your challenges and build a path to healing. Reach out—I'm here to listen, introduce coping strategies and assist with reaching goals.
My unique perspective in mental health counseling stems from a blend of personal and professional experiences. Having navigated childhood cancer, I feel I bring a sensitivity and empathy to understanding others' challenges. My transition into counseling later in life enriches my practice with a wealth of diverse life experiences and a deep well of resilience. Coupled with a background in healthcare, these qualities enable me to connect with and support clients on a deeply personal level. Many have found my approach both compassionate and informed.
Specialties include: Building Self-Esteem, Depression, Anxiety, adjustment issues and men and women's issues. I work with clients from ages 18 to older adults.
