LCPC, 10 years of experience
Feeling stuck, lonely, lost or sad? If you’re looking for someone to help you during this difficult time, you’ve come to the right place. It takes a lot of strength to seek help. I have experience working with adolescents and adults from all different backgrounds including Navy and Marine reservists and active duty. Although I’m not military, I really take pride in helping those who serve our country.I also have a passion for working with women struggling with postpartum issues as well. Having a new child can be both challenging and exhausting, yet also rewarding. I want to be here to help with these difficult times…I’ve been there. As a mom of two, I can relate to the difficulties of motherhood. Given my background and experience, I really enjoy working with a variety of individuals and hearing everyone’s story. We all struggle, but it’s important to find someone who is willing to listen and provide support, without feeling like you’re being judged. Let me be that person for you. When we’re able to see things from a different perspective, it helps us find a better solution to the problem. I’m not someone who is going to tell you what to do, but someone who will help you problem solve and find what works best for you. I want to work with you and help you become a better and happier you!
Your first counseling session is a chance for me to get to know each other and for you to share what’s bringing you in. We’ll talk about your goals, what you hope to gain from therapy, and any questions or concerns you may have. There’s no pressure to have it all figured out and this is simply a safe space to start the process. By the end of the session, we’ll begin to outline a plan together for moving forward.
I have extensive experience working with military members, both active duty and reservists. I’m able to explore positive coping skills to help minimize stressors. In addition to working with the military population, I am a mom and love to work with other mothers who are struggling with being a mom, postpartum issues or even those having relationship problems.
I’m passionate about supporting women and mothers who feel overwhelmed, constantly stretched thin, or like they’re never doing enough. You don’t have to carry it all on your own. Together, we’ll work toward finding balance, comfort, and a sense of peace even in the middle of life’s chaos.
My preferred treatment method is Cognitive behavioral therapy. CBT helps you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so you can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way. CBT can be an effective tool to help anyone learn how to better manage stressful life situations.
