I am a licensed professional counselor, and I have a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. I have been providing counseling and care for clients with a wide range of concerns over the last 15 years. I have specific experience working with people who have depression, anxiety, OCD, and phobias. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming and Neuro-affirming clinician.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I want to hear from you what brings you to counseling. I might ask some clarifying questions as you talk, and at the end we will discuss a plan moving forward.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As previously indicated I have a wide range of experience but enjoy working with persons who identify as having Autism, or other neurodivergence. I have experience in anxiety, depression, OCD, career- counseling, women's issues, and addiction.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
LGBTQ+, Autism, Anxiety, Phobias, OCD, Depression. I would be a great fit for a client who needs work with a warm and relational clinician who knows how to implement treatment for depression, anxiety, phobias, and OCD, as the treatment is often more clinical in nature.
