I am a licensed mental health counselor that has worked in the field of addiction and various mental health capacities for years. I truly believe in the person centered approach and that you are the expert in your own life. My role is to be a change agent and promote the changes that you wish. I am well-versed in many evidence-based psychotherapy modalities. My approach is driven by your needs. I realize that asking for help can be scary and is taking a risk. I strive to communicate with you effectively. If there are any instances where it seems like I've misunderstood something please let me know. I'm very open to feedback. That is an essential part of the therapeutic relationship.
