LMHC, 15 years of experience
Great to meet you! Self-care is something I wholeheartedly believe in. I hold a master's degree in counseling psychology and have been helping others since 2009. The fundamental aspect of therapy is helping others to overcome life toughest seasons; addressing issues that may become a stumbling block. Life challenges can eventually lead to mental discomfort. Helping others for many years, I apply different treatment modalities that will assist you in reaching your therapy goals.
As your therapist, my primary goal is to meet you where you are at in order for us to achieve your therapy goals. Meeting you where you are at is allowing you to share deep, and painful circumstances that brought you to therapy. In our first meeting, I make it my priority to make you feel at ease as sharing your life story can be very hard most times. The therapeutic relationship is the number one advocate for change!
My theoretical orientation is a client centered approach. Clients are inherently motivated toward achieving positive psychological functioning. I patiently and caringly act as a guide, and source of support to help my clients through difficult and challenging life situations.
I believe everyone should have a sense of belonging. When you are with me in therapy, I allow you to get to that place where you can find purpose and live life passionately. I love to give homework assignments which will help you to naturally focus on the outcome you want for your daily life. Applying and practicing what you learn and experience in therapy goes a long way!

Debi, right away was warm and empathetic to what I shared with her. She was engaging and her energy was very good. I know that once we get into the meat and potatoes, she will be instrumental in helping me achieve my therapeutic goals.
