Hi, I am a compassionate Counselor with knowledge and experience necessary to help you unpack pain, heal and become healthy. I will help you understand how trauma affects emotions, thoughts and behavior. I have experience providing individual, family, and couples therapy. I teach healthy coping skills and assist clients with identifying triggers and symptoms of depression and anxiety. Along with identifying the triggers and symptoms I teach relaxation and mindfulness techniques to help clients reduce depressed mood and negative thinking. I help clients with mood disorders learn to manage symptoms due to life stressors and unresolved trauma.

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

In our first session we will begin to build a therapeutic relationship. We will identify your needs and set up a plan for you to achieve your treatment goals and scheduled ongoing sessions.

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

As my client you will benefit from my ability to actively listen, meet you where you are and provide you with unconditional positive regard.

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

I enjoy working with individuals who need help finding the tools necessary to become hopeful and understand how to use those tools to increase purely happy mood and decrease anxiety. I also enjoy helping individuals identify the history of trauma that currently affects their thoughts, mood and behaviors. I love helping clients build self confidence and learn how to set boundaries and increase self care.
