I have over 10 years of experience working with adults and adolescents of all ages to understand themselves more deeply, so they feel empowered to be their most authentic selves. As a licensed professional counselor, I am passionate about increasing self-awareness, teaching mindfulness techniques, and providing a safe space. My goal is to provide a warm and non-judgmental environment to allow clients to feel safe and supported. I desire to meet you where you are in your life journey and assist you along the path to sufficiency, as each individual is the expert in his/her/their personal life experiences. I believe each individual has a different set of experiences and needs. I am trauma, mindfulness and DBT certified.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, I will ask about the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. I will also be able to answer any questions about the therapeutic process.
I believe my experience professionally and personally have given me a great advantage with helping my clients as I can be very relatable, and people tend to find it very easy to talk to me.
I am certified in CBT and use it frequently with my clients for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems or eating disorders. I help client create awareness around their current thinking patterns and learn skills to manage feelings, emotions and behaviors that are affecting their lives in a unhealthy way.
