Often rebooked
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience specializing in trauma-informed care and anxiety-related concerns. I work from a strength-based approach to counseling, grounded in the belief that you already have the capacity to heal and grow. My role is to provide insight, ask thoughtful questions, and create a safe, supportive space where meaningful change can occur. Our work will focus on your goals while building self-awareness and practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels right, helping you create a life that feels more balanced, grounded, and aligned.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together we will start with brief introductions and I'll answer any questions that you have. I will ask you specific challenges that you're currently facing that brought you to counseling, which will be followed by additional questions about your past. Once I have an understanding of you and what challenges you face, we will create your goals for counseling and develop a treatment plan.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Clients often share that what stands out about my approach is the thoughtful, reflective questions I ask and the practical tools they leave session with. Therapy with me is designed to be both insightful and actionable—helping clients gain clarity, increase emotional awareness, and develop skills they can use outside of session. This approach supports meaningful progress, improved coping, healthier relationships, and lasting change over time.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Clients that come to me are generally between the ages of 25 and 55. I see individuals that identify as both male and female. I generally see clients who are motivated and willing to look within themselves and make changes. I like to give homework after each session so clients can do the work in between sessions which is where the real changes began.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
We will work together to challenge negative and distorted thinking patterns that no longer serve you.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have used DBT for years in helping individuals tolerate negative emotions.
Mind-body approach
Our mind and body are connected as we carry so much emotion in our bodies.
