I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with experience working with individuals 12+ and currently considering adults clients 18+. I have greater than 12 years experience. I have training in CBT, TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and affirmative therapy (continued education in serving the trans community). I have worked extensively with individuals diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, OCD, mood disorders, gender dysphoria, autism, and PTSD.
I take a strength based, person centered approach in therapy. I work with clients to gain insight and motivation to take steps toward positive change. I believe in the power of thoughts and how they impact one's overall mood. I help clients learn to set and maintain healthy boundaries in various relationships.
Our first communication will be a phone consultation to discuss therapeutic needs and ensure a good fit. I provide a secure space for clients to share openly, without judgment. Clients will take the lead in their treatment planning which will be active and dynamic. Goals and objectives will be identified and progress assessed throughout treatment. I believe my role as therapist is to validate, empower, and to provide guidance.
