I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 10 years of experience. I utilize a variety of counseling techniques to empower clients to positively respond to their presenting problems. My approach aims to assist clients in developing healthy and positive coping skills. I offer a non-judgmental and supportive approach that will provide essential tools needed to move clients beyond the negative influences of their trauma.
Most people experience challenges as they navigate life. By exploring your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, values, and relationships you can develop a better understanding of yourself which can lead you to a more fulfilling, healthy and balanced life. My approach is person-centered; you are essentially in charge of what you want to explore. My background is in treating substance abuse and mental health disorders. I provide a supportive nonjudgmental environment where you will feel safe to work on your issues.
I believe that reaching out for support is one of the most courageous things a person can do. I bring more than a decade of compassion, clinical experience, and cultural humility to every therapeutic relationship. My warmth and directness help clients feel at ease from the very first session. My goals with you are to reduce symptoms of anxiety/depression, build healthy coping skills to regulate emotions, and develop boundaries to augment self-awareness among others. I look forward to seeing if we are a good fit.
