I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and trained play therapist with particular experience working with young adults, parents, and families. The ultimate professional goal of my work with my clients is to facilitate positive growth and healthy adjustment to all of life’s challenges. I hold certifications in DBT, SFBT, and am currently working to complete certification in EMDR. I am also trained in ACT and CBT, and I integrate techniques and skills associated with these modalities into person-centered therapy. The theory supporting person-centered methods aligns strongly with my beliefs about people. I believe that all people are deserving of true respect, and are worthy of acceptance without judgment, and I believe that within a therapeutic relationship based on these positive conditions, people can hone the skills necessary to achieve emotional health and become truly fully functioning.
