As a licensed Mental Health Counselor, I believe in working with people in pursing a valued life. I have work as a mental health counselor for the past 7 years but have over 10 years experience working at mental health clinics. I have been trained to work with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and chronic pain. My experience has been with a wide range of age, gender and cultural backgrounds.
While each individual is unique, research consistently shows that a strong therapeutic relationship is a key factor in achieving positive outcomes. I am committed to taking the time to genuinely get to know you and to fostering a collaborative, open, and trusting environment. In our work together, I encourage you to take the lead in your journey, while I offer supportive feedback and suggest strategies that may be helpful. If a particular approach doesn't resonate with you, we will remain flexible and explore alternative paths that better suit your needs
During our initial session, I provide space for you to share your story, including what has brought you to therapy and the goals you hope to achieve. I also welcome any questions you may have about me—both as a clinician and as a person—as well as about the therapeutic approaches we may use. This process is designed to help you feel comfortable, supported, and safe in being open and vulnerable as we work together toward your goals.
