I am a board certified licensed professional counselor. I've worked in several levels of care with many different populations ranging from substance abuse to anxiety and depression. Additionally, I've done a lot of work with the young adult and adolescent populations.
I let everyone know that I approach everyone with a "progress, not perfection" mindset. I want everyone to be able to communicate freely and not feel judged by myself. I strive to challenge you while providing a warm, open minded, and understanding environment.
During our first session I offer space for you to share what prompted you to seek out counseling. We'll collaborate to create goals that lay a solid foundation for transformation. My aim is to provide an environment that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed so opening up feels less intimidating. I want you to feel at ease when sharing pieces of your life that make you feel vulnerable. After the first session we will work towards making steady progress towards completing the goals we've come up with.
