My goal in the therapeutic process is to empower you to make positive changes for yourself by working collaboratively with you to develop the skills and mindset to move forward to live your best life. I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for you to discuss what is bringing you into therapy. I will work with you as an individual to explore what may be helpful to you to move forward to achieve your goals. I have over 10 years of experience working in mental health settings with clients and patients from diverse backgrounds. My background is unique in that I am both a Registered Nurse and Licensed Professional Counselor. My experience includes both individual and group therapy in both private practice and agency settings. The world that we live in is fast paced and ever changing which can cause us many challenges. I understand that asking for help is not easy and you may feel alone in the thoughts and feelings you are currently having. Please reach out and call or email me today. I am here to help!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, and then move into what is bringing you to therapy. The first few sessions will be getting to know you better and you can then determine if I may be a good fit for you in your therapeutic journey.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

DBT, mindfulness, CBT, person centered, motivational interviewing.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My strengths include active listening skills and a person centered approach to therapy. I consider myself to be a warm and empathetic person. I want to help you to determine what you need to live your best life and together we can work together to discover what this looks like for you and to explore alternative ways of coping.
