Great to meet you!

I am a licensed professional counselor. I provide clients a safe way to share and process intense emotions and negative thoughts. Finding our worth and value allows us to have the insight in how to love ourselves. We can be find ways to connect to our healthiest best selves with someone who will listen and provide supportive feedback. When we are able to care about who we are; we learn to develop boundaries, protective factors and self care for ourselves.

My approach to therapy

I utilize Attachment Bonding Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, MindfulnessTherapy, Music Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative, Person-Centered Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Solutions-Focused Therapy, and more to prompt clients to identify negative thoughts and intense emotions while providing supportive feedback, therapeutic exercises and techniques.

What you can expect from me

We can learn healthy patterns of behavior through Mindfulness techniques, Cognitive Behavioral techniques, Person strengths focus, Solutions Focused and Motivational Interviewing. These techniques have exercises that help us to become aware of how our thinking can be distorted with negatives and fears. The exercises help us learn other ways to think how alternative solutions and positive outcomes are possible. We can learn new and different perspectives that allow us to have awareness of our emotional triggers and develop coping skills to help us work through them.
