I enjoy sitting with my clients and letting them guide their treatment and success. My goal is to help my clients identify their strengths within themselves and guiding them as a change agent to discovering their best self in hopes to create their own stories of success.

Mental Wellness Specialties: Stress, AnxietyRelationship issuesSelf esteemDepressionCoping with life changes
9 years offering treatment

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, licensed in the state of Minnesota. I have been in private practice for 8 years now. Clients I have worked with have diagnoses from depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders and personality disorders to name a few. I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. My counseling style varies depending on each individual client. I make every attempt to treat clients as a whole person, not to divide a person's life challenges as separate from the person. This is helpful to see that a problem can be resolved by relying on other strengths of the individual. I will use humor and normalizing as tools to help clients as well as skill building and self compassion as tools the clients can use to help themselves when they are ready. I do not shy away from challenges and I know that reaching out for help is scary and going into a place of unknown. I look forward to walking alongside clients as they journey through the process of starting to live their best life. I will be your biggest cheerleader, loudest advocate and strongest defender as you go through the challenges and triumphs of counseling.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with over 18 years of professional work experience. My education includes a Masters of Arts (M.A.) degree in Counseling from Western Seminary (Portland, OR 1999). I have done counseling in social service agencies and private practice. In addition to this counseling platform, I am employed as a Program Consultant with the WA Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF). If you have an open CPS case or you are an active foster parent with DCYF, unfortunately I would not be able to serve you as it would be a conflict of interest. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, transitions, relationship issues, family conflict, job & parenting issues. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths in order to overcome what challenges you. As a Christian who does therapy, my approach is both clinical and respectful, honoring your own personal beliefs and values. You ultimately choose what changes you want to make, if any, you want to make. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I look forward to supporting you in your journey.

Thank you for your interest and congratulations in taking the first steps in reaching your goals and making the changes you want to make! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in the states of Georgia and Washington and live in GA so I am in the EDT timezone. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, work related stress, parenting challenges, ADHD, and Autism. I believe that counseling can provide education, support and a plan for the direction you would like to go. Therapy is a safe place where you can explore many emotions, fears and patterns of behavior that are preventing you from healing yourself and living a life where you are content and at peace. Any answers you need about how to live the life that is going to bring you fulfillment, joy and peace, are within you. Healing requires action. You can heal yourself with some bold and decisive moves. Counseling can provide a plan of action. If you are dealing with life transitions, stress, depression or anxiety, it is time to get real with yourself and deal with anything that isn't serving you. Commit to feeding thoughts, words and actions that are going to lead to joy and growth. My approach is primarily Cognitive Behavioral. This simply means that as we discuss what brings you to therapy I may focus on the two things. First the cognitive piece: what are you thinking or what are thoughts/beliefs that you have that aren't working for you and how do we change those. Then, the behavioral piece: what are things you keep doing that's not working for you and how do we change those. I am a support person for you as you determine what your goals are and we develop a plan on how to get there. I look forward to working with you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed to practice in Pennsylvania. I received my Master of Social Work degree (MSW) from Rutgers University in New Jersey and I received my Bachelor's of Arts degree in Social Work from Messiah College in PA. Additionally, in 2019 I completed a doctorate through Penn State University with a dissertation focused on social work education. I have been working with individuals, parents, and older adults since 2013. I started my social work career working in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, followed by three years in a medical hospital. I also supported families and children as an Early Intervention therapist. Most recently I work in a school setting providing individual and group counseling to teens and adolescents, as well as providing education and resource coordination to parents, families. And community members. I have experience addressing problems related to disorders such as depression, anxiety, divorce and marital issues, Trauma and abuse, as well as issues surrounding life changes and events. I use evidenced-based approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance, andto identify and recognize the client’s thoughts which contribute to their behaviors and feelings. The client can then identify distorted beliefs and thoughts, challenge them and create more balanced thoughts which improves the choices they make, and how they feel about themselves and the environment. In conjunction with focusing on thoughts, behavior modification challenges clients to makes a conscious effort to change negative behaviors to improve their feelings and thoughts. Other approaches I may use include strengths based approach, narrative therapy, and solution-focused therapy.
