I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am passionate about helping clients reach their treatment goals. Outside of behavioral health care and in my free time, I enjoy being a homebody and all of the peace that comes with it, activity nights with my family, and listening to music. In Therapy, I operate with the belief that my clients are the experts in their life and I am the professional. We work together to maximize clients reaching their goals in therapy. I rely on the client's expertise in their life experiences as much as they rely on my professional knowledge, compassion and skill sets in therapeutic sessions. I know my clients possess an inner strength and resiliency that promotes the groundwork for therapy. My welcoming, compassionate, and relaxed counseling style creates an environment where patients feel understood and valued, and where they can be their authentic selves without fear of judgment.

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

In our first session together we will go over what has brought you into therapy, your goals and what you desire out of your experience. I utilize this time to not over address therapy but as an introduction into who we both are as people.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I focus on using CBT and Person Centered. I begin session topics wherever the client is comfortable. As time progresses, I find clients open up more about their concerns and the best ways to receive help so I remain open to the uniqueness of every person.

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

I have a strong passion for working with women dealing with stress, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed and depression from recent life transitions and relationship concerns.
