Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) and holder of a Masters Degree. I have been practicing for approximately 10 years. I have experience with adults who have struggled with Depression, Trauma, Anxiety, Adjusting to new circumstances, and other mood and relationship disorders. I am a people-person and really enjoy the helping profession. My personality affords me to successfully interact with many individuals who seek assistance in overcoming their life challenges.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then receive some background information about you and your life experiences and the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked with adults with varied life experiences, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with adults who are willing to try therapy- something different .

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I begin with some Adlerian methods. I like to infuse psychoeducation to acquaint clients how their personality was formed and how change occurs. We discuss how thinking/thoughts influences emotions and behaviors- thus changing thoughts. Changes behavior and feelings.

Mrs. Velma was down to earth. She didn’t speak with you as if you were a subject. Mrs. Velma set goals and created assignments to assist you with coping.
