Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who is licensed in Connecticut with 7 years of professional work experience and 3 years in private practice. I love what I do...working with and for each person! I have collaborated with a variety of clients with various needs. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, & coping with life changes. I am available to aid clients in improving concentration, memory and focus (ADHD). Above all, I aim to see you for who you are...your strengths, interests, and personal gifts to help you navigate life. Your struggle is real and so are all the other qualities & goals that make you. Let's explore this together!
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. This means that I will encourage you to direct the conversation, share strategies, and occasionally incorporate activities. If you struggle with these things, then I am happy to provide you with the psycho-education to develop the skills to grow. Each session is to help empower your voice and your capacity to reclaim authority in your life. I invite you to schedule a consultation with me prior to your initial session in order to get to know me and my services. This is the best way to learn more about how counseling with me works. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in this daring exploration.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
As a mental health professional, I have learned a variety of skills that can support you. Some of the strongest skills that I have developed include helping each person to think deeply & with alternative perspectives, challenge clients to take courageous steps, empathize with each person's struggles with openness, and incorporating exercises to practice those skills. The focus is about helping you to develop and increase your personal power to be even better than before.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
It is a gift to work with and for each person. The predominate populations that I support are women, young adults, and teenagers. Whether it is discussing women's issues, confidence, relationships, anxiety, and other life changes, I am here for you.
Christian Counseling
As a Christian myself, I have incorporated testimony, biblical principles, and reflection practices in each session. By utilizing the Word and exercises, then together we can explore how to address life's dilemmas and improve each client's Christian walk. All of this is at the pace of the client and each person's level of curiosity.
