I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s Degree in Counseling and over 8 years of experience in the field. I work with individuals, teens, couples, veterans, and families across a range of settings. I have experience with trauma, anxiety, depression, crisis work, and family concerns. I find it important to provide clients a safe space where they feel heard, understood, and supported.
I tend to utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family Systems Theory but find it important to let the client's needs guide us in the right direction and what will be most useful in providing positive change.
During the first session, clients can expect a focus on meeting them where they’re at. A safe, non-judgmental space is provided to allow for sharing what brought them to therapy and what they hope to work on. Questions may be asked about their background, current concerns, and anything they feel is important to support the process. Together, areas of focus are identified and possible approaches are discussed. By the end of the session, clients can expect to have a plan for future sessions and to feel supported and empowered.
