We all face issues, problems, and challenges, you don’t have to face them alone. As a Limited Licensed Professional Counselor, allow me to assist you as you discover more about yourself and navigate through your thoughts, problems, and behaviors. My counseling philosophy is to create a comforting, empathetic, and nonjudgmental environment for you to be your true self as you discuss your feelings and transition through the stages of growth and change. I practice an integrative approach of counseling that is based on the needs of my client. I frequently use CBT and Person-Centered therapy along with a variety of counseling techniques from other counseling theories. Through my education and experience, my goal is to give my clients the support, empowerment, and coping tools that they need to get through their day-to-day life and improve their overall mental health.
I am also a Licensed School Counselor and work as a Middle School Counselor. My specialty includes but is not limited to assisting individuals with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, school issues and working through daily life stressors. I provide services for youth, adolescents and adults as well as couples and families.
