I am a licensed professional counselor and supervisor (LPC-S) with 16 years of counseling experience. I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship issues, as well as trauma and emotional abuse histories. I often draw from person-centered, humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, while thoughtfully tailoring my therapeutic style to meet each client's unique needs. I believe that every person is on their own individual path, and my role as a therapist is to offer support and encouragement as clients navigate challenges and work toward meaningful change. If you are ready to take the next step on your journey to a happier and more fulfilled life, I am here to empower and support you. Some things to know before choosing to work with me: 1. My sessions are set to 45 minutes and my clients schedule their weekly sessions by choosing a session time that works with their schedule. This is done on a first-come, first-served basis. 2. Because this is an online platform, both electrical power and internet connection are necessary. Should there be a power outage or internet problem on either side, we will have to reschedule our session. 3. If you are unable to attend a scheduled session, please let me know the day before if possible so that I can make that time available to other clients. 4. I do not provide crisis counseling on this platform. If you are experiencing an emergency, please call 911, your local emergency services, or go to your nearest hospital emergency department.

I a draw from both modern and postmodern approaches, mostly utilizing collaborative therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in conjunction with one another. I also draw from the font on Jungian psychology to add perspective to my client's situations.

Maybe you’re hitting up against some loneliness and isolation right now. Or maybe some old burdens are affecting your current life. Lets talk. Your story matters to me. The thing is, I really enjoy helping people cultivate resilience and self- compassion. Depression, Anxiety, Anger that’s hard to control, Addiction issues (Porn, Gambling, Substances) all these are adversities that we humans grapple with. I've been doing this for a minute. I can say for sure that there is no cookie-cutter solution. It's more about connection. My focus is to create the space for someone to know they aren’t alone in this. A gentle, trauma informed journey into mindfulness ensues, and flows towards specific therapy concepts that work best for the individual. We go with what resonates. I enjoy drawing from IFS, EMDR, Narrative, CBT, CPT, and Client Centered therapies to name a few. These paths can be informed by specific Ted Talks/Podcasts to augment the learning part of our work. I love the metaphor of life being a journey, a winding path. Most of us have internal burdens we're carrying along the way. Processing some of those with a neutral and supportive confidant, one who has earned your trust, can be immensely healing. So if you want to share the trail for a while, I'd be honored. Either way, I wish you the best on your journey. " The curious paradox is that when I accept myself, just as I am, then I can change.” - Carl Rogers

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, or major life changes, working with a qualified mental health professional can offer meaningful support.
