I have been in the helping profession of counseling since 2001. Working as both a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), empowering individuals to seek healthy life change is the focus and goal. It is important to build therapeutic rapport to address concerns which may be very sensitive in nature. So, motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral interventions are employed throughout the counseling.
I have had the opportunity to work with diverse populations in a private practice setting, multi-specialty counseling group setting, and also in a publicly funded community counseling center. Some of the populations specifically required attention to child abuse and neglect, substance use disorders, domestic violence, anger management, parenting skills education, trauma-informed care, and general decision making/healthy life skills.
Most individuals end counseling services having achieved identified desired goals including increased personal strength to maintain positive choices. Having support to make the necessary changes goes a long way. I am here to provide the additional support you may need as you work towards your best life.
