I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and CASAC (Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor) with over 15 years of experience in mental health and substance abuse clinics, corrections, group private practice, and non-profit settings. This experience led me to providing treatment for a wide range of issues, but also helped me discover and foster my specialties which include Grief & Loss, Trauma/PTSD, Anxiety, Life Transitions, Relationship Issues, and Addiction.
I am passionate about helping others heal their lives by creating healthier thought and behavior patterns and navigating difficult emotions that would otherwise be suppressed. My style is warm, compassionate, and friendly to create a comfortable environment for you to trust me and the process of your healing journey. My approach to counseling is person-centered and I offer many therapeutic modalities tailored to your needs including CBT, EMDR, DBT, EFT, Psychodynamic, and Solution-Focused.
Let me help you navigate your challenges to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, discover your strengths, and create a life that is happier, healthier and more fulfilling. Sessions will include exploring your past to help identify patterns connected with current symptoms, challenging limiting beliefs, identifying and reframing negative thought patterns that block you, and working on changing maladaptive behavior patterns.
