My goal is to help clients increase awareness, be empowered, heal, and experience optimal mental health. I have over 18 years of counseling families, couples, and individuals from young children to seniors for mental health and substance abuse. I love working with teenagers (14+), adults, and seniors. I have provided therapy at an older adult (55+) inpatient unit, private practice, community settings, private homes, and girls and boys group homes.
I use a Person-Centered Eclectic Counseling approach utilizing various therapeutic modalities. I am strength-based with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral and Interpersonal therapies.
The first session is an assessment, an opportunity to exhale, talk about the pain and situation, and the beginning of establishing an objective nonjudgemental relationship for healing. I encourage awareness, education, and healing on a journey of discovery and growth. In therapy, clients leave my sessions empowered with greater awareness and understanding of themselves with tools and strategies to flourish and experience optimal mental health.
