I am a licensed clinical professional counselor with private practice experience, as well as on inpatient units in hospitals and advising students in high schools. I have a reputation for being empathic, an active listener, and having versatile ability to relate to others challenges. I have been recognized for building and sustaining trusting, positive relationships with my clients, along my use of humor to connect with others in session.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients are able to feel at ease by the end of their first sessions with me. I enjoy having a conversation about what brings people to therapy, whether it is their first time or looking to continue with someone new. I like to create a safe space through active listening, empathy, and compassion, so clients feel comfortable with sharing their trials and tribulations so find healing and support.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I implement methods to reframe negative thinking to reduce irrational thoughts, and alleviate anxiety and depression. By understanding how irrational thinking affects mood can help create change to negative thinking.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I implement tools such as mediation, coloring, puzzles, exercise and journaling to help increase positive behaviors, as well as reduce stress and improve overall coping skills
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I implement interventions to understand the connections between thoughts, and how they affect emotions and behaviors. It helps clients accept their lives as they are, and change the unhelpful behaviors to live more fulfilling lives
