Greetings! I am a licensed professional counselor with eight years of experience in the field. I specialize in working with clients who suffer from anxiety disorders and OCD. Other interests include working with clients with depression, addiction, and emotion regulation difficulties. In addition to private practice, I have worked in a variety of settings including a college counseling center, a residential treatment facility for youthful offenders, and a primary care medical setting.

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

In our first session together, we will explore your background and the topics that you would like to work on in treatment. In future sessions, clients can expect to feel heard and validated during sessions. Clients can expect to gain further insight into some of their different struggles and become better aware of their emotions in the present moment. I aim to help clients learn new coping skills to solve problems in their lives. This includes being better able to regulate emotions, manage anxiety, engage in more positive self-talk, and reduce engagement in problematic health behaviors.

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

I feel that some of my greatest strengths include being caring and down to earth. I also like to think that I am relatable and easy to talk to! Finally, I think that I am very evidence based and determined to come up with personalized treatment plans to help my clients.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

In terms of my style, I consider myself warm and empathetic. I try to make therapy a comfortable place where clients can joke and talk freely about whatever is bothering them. I consider myself to be present focused and action oriented. I aim to push clients out of their comfort zones, through the use of mindfulness and behavioral experiments. Finally, I hope to be collaborative in helping you accomplish the goals that are most important to you.
