Great to meet you!

Bannet is a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with individuals experiencing substance use concerns, addiction, anxiety, depression, mood irregularities, and co-occurring disorders. Her journey began as an undergraduate peer educator, where he had the privilege of teaching fellow students essential life skills. This early experience sparked a passion for both education and psychology, ultimately leading him to a fulfilling career in mental health counseling.

My approach to therapy

Bannet creates a compassionate, client-centered environment where individuals can explore their emotions, thoughts, and experiences without fear of judgment. Her utilizes a blend of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, Adlerian Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy. Her ideal clients are those navigating challenges related to family dynamics, relationships, identity exploration, emotional regulation, or life transitions. Bannet’s approach emphasizes curiosity, collaboration, and growth—empowering clients to build healthier patterns and gain confidence in facing life’s challenges.

What you can expect from me

In sessions, Bannet begins by building a strong therapeutic alliance founded on trust and openness. She encourages clients to share their stories at their own pace, while helping them recognize how thought patterns and family systems may influence current behaviors. Through evidence-based interventions and reflective dialogue, clients learn new coping skills, develop insight, and make meaningful changes that support long-term well-being. Bannet’s process is flexible and tailored to each client’s unique needs, ensuring that therapy feels both purposeful and supportive.

Outside of his work, Bannet enjoys finding balance between adventure and quiet reflection. Her ambiverted nature allows him to thrive both outdoors and indoors—whether she's hiking, skiing, skydiving, or simply enjoying a cup of tea with a good book. He values connection, curiosity, and mindfulness, qualities she brings into her therapeutic relationships as well.
