Great to meet you!

Hi there! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15years of experience in community mental health counseling. I work with pre-teens, teenagers and adults.

My approach to therapy

I strive to approach clients troubles through the lens of empathy and understanding from clients point of experience. I often do this in our first few sessions by use of Motivational Interviewing that helps to explore what you desire to change and principles of Positive Psychology to help focus on strengths to building the best of quality of life you are seeking live. Thereafter, I draw from a variety of evidence-base therapy interventions to accomplish goals.

What you can expect from me

During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month.
