I am a full-time school counselor, but work part-time as a therapist. Prior to becoming a school counselor, I worked in the mental health field for over 15 years in multiple roles. I enjoy helping adolescents and young adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns to identify strategies that allow them to manage and/or overcome these concerns. I tend to use an eclectic mix of person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy when working with clients. I also have been trained in mindfulness to assist my clients. I also understand the difficulties one might face related to the current societal climate as it relates to LGBTQ+ population and race. I believe it is important for clients to have a safe space to share the microaggressions, discrimination, and/or hate that one may face. I believe that I can be that safe space for all individuals. In my free-time, I am enjoy spending time with my family. During this time, we like to do things outdoors, such as playing pickleball, hiking, paddleboarding, or just relaxing.

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

During the first session, I will focus on understanding what brought you to therapy and identifying your goals to reach while in therapy.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

Person-centered, Solution- Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness

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

My biggest strengths are listening and providing a safe space to share. I have the most experience helping clients in managing anxiety and depression symptoms.
