I am a licensed mental health counselor that is also National Board Certified. I have worked with clients of diverse ages and cultural backgrounds including adults in outpatient settings, youth and families in community-based programs and individuals in the jail system. I have experience treating addiction, grief, trauma, depression, anxiety and relationship issues.
I use active listening, trauma informed approach to therapy and build on trust. I provide a safe environment for my clients where I can provide feedback, empowerment and education. I help clients identify their strengths in order to set realistic coping skills to help them through life obstacles.
On our first session, I want to begin to get to know you and want the session to be useful. Getting to know each other includes, providing time for you to ask any logistical questions about my therapy style and for me to learn about your expectations for therapy. Next, we will set realistic goals for your counseling journey. Our first session is the beginning of forming a trusting relationship together and an opportunity for you to assess if we would be the right fit for another.
