Hello, I am so glad you are reaching out. It takes courage to ask for help and I know that is not always easy and I am proud of you for taking the first step! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 21 years of counseling experience. I am here to support you on your journey towards mental health and well-being. I provide a safe and compassionate space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My clients often struggle with the "unknowns" of life and I like to help people feel more comfortable with the unknown and to trust the process of life.

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

During our first session, we will explore your history and how you got to be where you are today. I like to learn about where you grew up, your family and your life currently. We will establish and review therapy goals, and discuss your current concerns. I always ask: what do I need to know about you in order to best help you?

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

I feel my biggest strengths as a therapist are my authenticity, empathy, patience and ability to actively listen to my clients. I have a genuine interest in understanding their emotions and experiences, which helps me build trust and rapport. I provide a calm and compassionate demeanor which creates a safe space for clients to open up and share thoughts and feelings.
