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

My hopes are to create an atmosphere that is comfortable and accepting to develop with clients a collaborative therapeutic relationship with the goal of helping each individual to reach the goals they need or desire to reach in order to move forward in a healthy way with their lives.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My primary goal is to come alongside the client and assist in managing issues that can cause one to feel held in a difficult state of mind and unable to make changes, feeling overwhelmed or emotionally paralyzed. I believe that by helping clients to discover new ways of coping, assists them to move toward a more effective and rewarding life. I believe that therapy should be tailored to fit the needs of the individual so my approach is ecletic but primarily use cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, MI, trauma and solution focused therapies and techniques among • other tools to develop an integrative approach that is tailored to each client individually. • My areas of focus are but not limited to life transitions, stress, anxiety/panic, depression, work and school anxiety, obsessive thinking, grief, as well as career transitions, academic and life coaching. • I enjoy empowering people to develop new behaviors, cognitions and skills that will lead to an enhanced lifestyle and the ability to handle future challenges. I look forward to working with you. I enjoy working with people of all backgrounds and consider it a privilege to share in each client's journey. My goal is to help my clients develop insight, create meaning, and establish concrete tools that can be used long after our work has been completed. I will do this by creating a positive and supportive environment that allows for vulnerability and growth. I work solely with adults 18 and over, and I look forward to meeting you!

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am a licensed professional counselor and I have experience working with individuals that struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, personal issues or concerns and substance abuse. I provide the support needed to share, become aware and address life challenges in a way that result in a treatment plan designed to meet your unique and specific needs. The counseling process is an opportunity for people to explore who they are, where they have been, where they want to go, and who they want to become.
