Losses, social isolation, family tensions, work fatigue, health, and uncertainty have created an imbalance in our lives, consequently decreasing our overall wellness. We all are striving to grow the life we desire. I've been a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) since 2008 and have worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, AD(H)D, substance use, trauma, and relationship conflicts. I enjoy empowering individuals to grow. Together, we can develop a toolbox of resources to help you become more resilient.

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

Whether you have previously done therapy or this is a new experience, feeling apprehensive is expected, and relationships are essential. I strive to make our appointments feel more like a conversation, and while there is a structure to the session, you have complete flexibility to guide your goals.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

When building skills, tools, and resources to help you live the life you want now and in the future, I use several integrative methods and, over the years, have been influenced by a holistic perspective. I feel the only way towards growth is through a collaborative model. Approaches I draw from are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Art Therapy, and Mindfulness. I also strive to create opportunities to work between sessions and expand on our discussion.

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

After nearly 14 years of counseling education and community mental health experience, I paused to concentrate on personal growth and further education. Alongside working as a professional counselor, I have also freelanced in art and design and worked in environmental and social policy. I draw from lived experiences as much as my training and professional experience.
