As someone who struggled with mental health in the past and sought out help, I have complete understanding and respect for anyone reaching out for assistance. The desire to help others after I was able to overcome struggles is what led me to counseling. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have been counseling for ten years now. I have worked with all ages, from children younger than five, to older children, teenagers, and adults. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, parenting issues, family conflict and challenges, relationship issues, and all the different life changes that occur! My practice is a client-focused, person-centered, and humanistic approach. I believe that each person who enters counseling deserves to be understood with empathy, respect, and compassion, and I believe that your relationship and connection with your counselor is key to moving forward. It is our journey together to bring you to the place that you want to be. I use a person-centered talk therapy model with a variety of techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, strength-based approaches, and mindfulness approaches. I have unique experience specializing in using art therapy and other creative avenues and techniques. I also have a specialty in play therapy specifically to work with younger ages, as well as expertise in behavior management, parenting support, and family therapy.

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

Our first session together will focus on getting to know each other. I am an open book as a therapist, and welcome questions to help you, as the client, feel more comfortable with me, as the therapist. Together we will explore what you are looking for in a therapeutic relationship and experience.

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

My biggest strength is being someone who listens, understands, and follows you through your journey to self-care and healing. I will always meet someone where they need to be met and follow through with you.

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

I work with clients of all ages and experiences, but I have particular experience with children, teens, young adults, women, and families.
