Great to meet you!

I am a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I have spent the majority of my career in designated agencies working with adolescents and their families. I have done some private practice work with adults as well. I utilize CBT, DBT, MI, and Solution Focused therapy within my sessions to help clients achieve their goals. I enjoy coming up with creative solutions to issues and often use nature in my interventions.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I use a client centered approach to help clients find workable solutions to areas of their life where they may be feeling stuck.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to leave sessions with insights into their struggles and/or concrete steps to take towards change when appropriate.
