I'm a licensed professional counselor with a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling specializing in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, and life transitions using a trauma -informed approach. I am open-minded and bring warmth, humor and a down to earth style to therapy, fostering strong relationships with my clients. Being certified in nature informed therapy, I incorporate and encourage the healing powers of the outdoors. I understand that therapy can be intimidating and difficult for some. My goal is to offer patience and a safe, supportive environment on your journey to healing.

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

The first session is all about getting to know you and understanding what brought you to therapy. We'll take time to discuss your goals, challenges, and what you're hoping to get out of our work together. Operating from a behaviorist perspective, I believe that a client's circumstances play a significant role in shaping their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We'll also talk about what therapy may look like moving forward, including my approach and how we can tailor sessions to meet your needs. Most importantly, this is your time to ask questions, share concerns, and start building trust in a supportive, nonjudgmental space.

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

A behaviorism focus helps guide my client toward practical change by addressing how their situations influence their thoughts and feelings. My trauma-informed approach ensures sensitivity to my client's past experiences and focuses on creating a safe a supportive space for healing. I have an ongoing commitment to personal and professional development and am dedicated to combating burnout and providing the best care to my clients.

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

I work best with clients who struggle with negative thinking patterns rooted in family dynamics. I also help clients understand and cope with anxiety that often stems from a fear of the future unknown. My personal experiences as a mother of two and a veteran spouse help me connect with those navigating family life or the challenges of military relationships. I specialize in helping those who face daily challenges of stress, trauma, and anxiety, whether in their personal lives or through demanding careers.
