I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 14 years of experience working as a therapist with adults to help them process life as it happens and take control over what is perceived to be out of control. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, mood disorders, personality disorders, and substance abuse issues. I have also helped many people who have experienced trauma and abuse. I pride myself on grief work and acceptance as well.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. My environment will be safe, confidential, and a place to feel listened to and heard and to process solutions versus focusing on the problem. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, trauma-centered, addictions-informed, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I will help hold you accountable for your personal goals and successes as therapy progresses and celebrate the successes and maneuver the obstacles right along with you.
I look forward to working with you!
