My work is guided by a deep commitment to meeting people where they are, listening with compassion, and empowering them to navigate challenges and find solutions that align with their values and strengths. Throughout my career, I have served in diverse roles, including Outpatient Therapist, Assessment & Referral Counselor, Crisis Assessor, Clinical Screener, Behavior Specialist Consultant, Mobile Therapist, Adjunct Teacher, Group Facilitator, Parent Educator, and leadership positions within the behavioral health field. These experiences have given me a profound understanding of the effects of adverse experiences, emotional dysregulation, and the challenges that arise in relationships, parenting, and life transitions. Counseling Philosophy I use a person-centered, strength-based approach that aligns with cognitive-behavioral principles to help clients identify and achieve attainable goals. My focus is on reducing distress, enhancing emotional well-being, and fostering positive change. My adaptable counseling style ensures that the unique needs of each client are met.
