Welcome! I am a LPC with 10+ years of clinical experience. I have a diverse background in child welfare, domestic violence, women's issues, mood disorders and trauma. I prioritize trust, creating a safe space and fostering collaborative relationships with my clients. I connect well with young and middle-aged adults who are seeking motivation, self-esteem, clarity, and/or peaceful living. I also work well with clients who value a mind-body connection.
My style is strength-based, holistic, & trauma-informed. I value the counselor/client relationship over any specific technique or modality; I will always meet a client where they are at. I have a background in fine art and will often incorporate creative arts therapy techniques into a session. I believe strongly in the 8 Dimensions of Wellness framework and focus my work with clients on fostering a healthy mind/body connection and achieving balance in their lives.
My ultimate hope for all clients in my care is to leave each session feeling empowered to make the necessary changes in their lives that will improve not only their mental health but also their quality of life.
