Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience. I’ve worked in a variety of settings which include a college counseling center, community mental health, private practice, the juvenile justice system, and with foster care organizations. I also supervise new counselors in the mental health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress, ADHD, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and addiction to name a few.
I consider my counseling style to be personable and down to earth. I believe in offering true empahty, genuineness, and acceptance in the counselor role and see it as a priviledge that individuals afford me the opportunity to walk with them through whatever concerns or trials they may be experiencing. I love what I do and I believe that shows in my work!
For those interested in my specific counseling approach, I consider myself psychodynamic at heart. I pull from other approaches as well including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive-behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
If you want to understand more about why you are the way you are, want practical solutions to your concerns, desire to grow in your personal development and/or relationships, or just need somone to hold hope for you when you can't find that yourself, then I am the counselor you are looking for.
I look forward to working with you!
