Are you looking to improve your overall mental health? Do you struggle with anxiety or depression? Do you want to change the way that you view yourself or life itself? I give tools that can help you overcome the lies that you have been told about who you are and discover the truths about yourself. I am an LCMHCS and I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma. My philosophy is that no adversity is a waste of your time if you learn from it, become stronger because of it, and help others through it. That is what I do.

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first session is a "get-to-know-you" session. Not only will I learn about you I feel that it is important that you know who you are talking to.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

II have been using CBT since the start of my career. I use CBT when working with anxiety and depression associated with circumstantial and chemical imbalances as well as adjustment disorders.

Trauma-Focused CBT

I use TF-CBT when working with my clients who have experienced past or present traumas.

Gestalt

I have used Gestalt Therapy when working with trauma clients periodically.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy can be used for many issues such as trouble sleeping, trauma, emotional eating, discontinuing bad habits, etc. I am certified with the National Board of Hypnotherapy. I am fairly new to this form of therapy and although it can be conducted virtually, I would prefer in-person.
