I have received my Master of Arts and Master of Education Degrees from Teachers College of Columbia, specializing in Mental Health Counseling. I currently am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I have worked in psychology for 16 years and have extensive experience working with individuals, families, and couples with many different needs.
I always come from a client-centered approach. That means that my priority is to truly listen to what it means to you and work with you to find goals and strategies that you find achievable. I specialize in substance use and mental health treatment, but I have experience working with many different needs, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns.
Goals are always client driven. I work with individuals to define what wellness means to them and create a plan to work toward that. We are all unique, so the therapeutic process is individually developed for each person. I always seek to create a safe space where a person can feel comfortable being authentic without fear of judgment.
