Hi there! I am excited to get to know you. I have my Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Indiana State University. I currently work with adolescent females in a correctional setting and work statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and adolescents and specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, mood, behavioral disorders and other mental health diagnoses utilizing various evidence based interventions.
My approach in therapy varies by the needs of the client. I work to meet my client where they are and assess for appropriate interventions based on clinical need. I mainly utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy. These approaches allow me to build rapport with my clients and help them to build the skills needed to overcome various mental health concerns.
My goal for us in therapy would be to build up a positive therapeutic relationship and work together to create goals that will help make positive changes in your life. We will monitor and track progress toward these goals throughout out our work together. In our first session, you can expect the focus to be on how you have been feeling recently. I will also ask for background information that will help me get an understanding of who you are and what has been going on for you!
