LPC, 20 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
With over 20 years of experience in counseling, I specialize in a range of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. If you're facing challenges, know that you don't have to navigate them alone. I hold a Master's degree and am a Licensed Professional Counselor committed to supporting individuals in their journey towards mental wellness. Together, we can overcome obstacles, achieve personal growth, work towards positive change, and a brighter future.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
With over 20 years of experience I have developed strong interpersonal and communication skills, essential for facilitating clear and meaningful dialogue, providing feedback, and helping clients develop their own communication abilities. I have empathy and compassion giving me the ability to build strong, trusting relationships with clients, offering a safe and non-judgmental space for them to explore their thoughts and emotions. These strengths enable me to provide high-quality care, adapt to the unique needs of each client, and contribute significantly to their growth.
I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves openly. I will demonstrate empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness, which helps facilitate self-exploration and growth. Some of the goals typically set in therapy include: increased self-awareness, enhanced self-esteem, improved emotional regulation, and greater self-acceptance.
