Hello! I am a Master's level therapist, licensed as both a Professional Counselor and an Independent Substance Abuse Counselor. My years of experience and training allow me to supervise other therapists, also. I believe that we ALL are works in progress. Sometimes a person outside of our immediate environment can be the one who provides the opportunity for personal growth, and so I enjoy very much being available to others for this purpose. Stressors, anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma are part of the human condition. A person who wants to make changes to improve life should be celebrated rather than shamed! Although my toolkit contains Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Informed Care, Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Brief Therapy, and faith-based counseling, I prefer to always work with a client-centered approach and in whatever way is most effective for that person. I will check in each session to ensure that you are seeing progress and that the work we are doing together is helpful. It will be an honor and privilege to join you for part of your life's journey, and I look forward to getting to know you!
