I've been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Board Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC), and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) for the past 6 years. As a therapist it's my desire to build a positive relationship with you and then help you to use multiple tools to find peace, overcome struggles, and build a future that feels good for you based on your wants and desires.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During your first session, we will get to know each other a little. I tell you a little about me and then I turn it over to you to get to know you better. I will offer you time to ask questions about me, my style of work, and what to expect in future sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I think my greatest strength as a therapist is that I'm a real person. I engage with you during your session and don't just say things like "oh okay... yes I see... Mmmhmmm..." Instead I offer other perspectives. I may challenge some things that may be holding you back, and I will be supportive and tell you when you're doing great work!
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with individuals who are ready to make some changes in their lives and who understand that therapy is a process. I enjoy helping someone go from a point of needing to help to overcome a trauma/addiction/anxiety to watching them blossom and become who they have wanted to be- feeling healthy. At this time, I only serve individuals 18 years of age and older.

Grief Therapy
I'm no stranger to grief. I understand the unexpected ups and downs that come with losing a person, pet, job or opportunity. I also understand and offer support for disenfranchised grief such as losing a home, possessions, having a natural disaster take things we never expected to lose, or even grieving something that never came to be. Grief is a beast, but I'm here to walk beside you as you mourn your loss(es).
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing is a great way to discover what you want for your life and what is important to you. I will then help you investigate how to achieve those goals in a way that feels realistic and attainable.
