As a licensed professional counselor (LPC) I provide a listening ear, compassionate care, and quality counseling services to help you identify what's holding you back from finding true peace and happiness and help you decide when and how to make changes in your life. During our time together I will teach you how to identify what's holding you back from being able to feel happy and content with life, help you to move on from a difficult relationship or season in life, help you learn how to set healthy boundaries and communicate with confidence. You will build resiliency from life's stressors and learn problem solving skills for difficult situations. You will increase your confidence and self esteem, improve your relationships, make peace with your past, and bring balance into your life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Trust is paramount in the counseling process. I offer you a safe, warm, welcoming and authentic space for us to build that trust so you can get a sense of who I am as a professional counselor and what I have to offer. During our first counseling session I'll explore what brings you to counseling and what you'd like to accomplish so we can develop a personalized treatment plan to help you reach your goals for treatment.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I provide professional, individual counseling services that are client-centered, meaning that you are in the driver's seat when it comes to determining what's important for us to focus on in treatment. I take a holistic path in helping you achieve your mental health goals, which includes looking at the health of your mind, body, and spirit and the influence of your support system, your family, your culture, and your personal values.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help you recognize how your thoughts influence your feelings, emotions, and behavior, which can lead to difficulty dealing with stressful situations, low motivation, problems with self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and conflict in relationships. This awareness, and new skills to break negative cycles, can lead to learning healthier ways of responding to life's problems. CBT can empower you to take an active role in your own mental health and improve your quality of life and relationships.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I have helped clients who are weighted down with guilt, shame, or regret find relief and hope using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which will help you focus on the present moment and accept your thoughts and feelings without judgment. The goal of ACT is to help you people move past these and other difficult emotions so you can use your values to focus on healing instead of feeling stuck in life or dwelling on the past.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
If you are struggling with mood swings, strong emotions that can feel out of control, or feelings of emptiness or numbness, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or substance use, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) can give you beautiful tools to increase your ability to regulate your emotions and feel stable during times of interpersonal conflict, stressful situations, or when you are feeling unstable within yourself. DBT effectively teaches you how to gain trust with yourself and learn when to trust others, calm emotional storms, or free you from feeling empty or numb, creating a stable sense of self that you can be proud of.
Attachment-based
Through our therapeutic relationship, we will explore your attachment-style to help you discover how early childhood experiences with your parents, other family, the wider community, and peers in your life have impacted your ability to develop secure, safe, and trusting relationships as an adult. I have used attachment-theory to help clients break destructive patterns within relationships, become a healthier partner, parent, or friend, and learn how to find healthier people to be in relationships with. Attachment-based therapy also helps people heal wounded relationships with their parents or caregivers to create a more enjoyable bond in adulthood.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Many couples or individuals come to my office feeling like their relationship with their spouse or significant other is broken, painful and confusing. They truly want to have a loving, peaceful, committed relationship, however their relationship is characterized by painful feelings and a lot of conflict. Using emotionally focused therapy (EFT), couples can untangle the confusing and painful communication patterns that develop in relationships that can happen when people start to feel misunderstood, attacked, or realize they don't know how to meet their partners emotional needs. EFT teaches couples how to reconnect with each other and create spaces of emotional safety and better communication so the relationship can feel alive and meaningful again.
