I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 17 years experience working in various settings such as schools, hospitals, community mental health centers, and private practice. I treat people of all ages from younger children to older adults, and a variety of mental health concerns including PTSD, childhood trauma, interpersonal problems, stress management, and mood disorders such as Depression, Bipolar, Panic Disorder, and Generalized Anxiety.
Therapy is based on a collaborative and trusting relationship. I work to identify the source of your concern and work through unresolved issues or negative thinking patterns through modalities that fit you best such as EMDR, CBT, interpersonal counseling, and mindfulness techniques. I aim to challenge you past your comfort zones when appropriate in a caring and thoughtful way.
You can expect more questions than normal in the first session so that I can best understand your needs. However, we will work at your pace based on your comfort level and personalized needs. We will develop individual goals so that you leave each session feeling hopeful, validated, and accomplished.
