Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 6 years of experience working with children, families, couples, and adults. The majority of my work has been in the foster care and adoption sector helping children in foster care, children being adopted, foster parents, and adoptive parents navigate mental health struggles and familial issues.
I have worked with clients on a variety of topics including the adoption process, parenting challenges, managing mental health, life planning, and traumatic experiences. The clients I have seen come from a wide range of backgrounds and have an array of diagnoses including, but not limited to, generalized anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress syndrome, depression, conduct disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
My counseling style is diverse and flexible to the clients I serve. The approach that I use is tailored to each individual client in an effort to best address the concerns or needs identified. I specialized in trauma-based work that is client-centered.
Every client has a path and counseling is a journey that we can take together. You set the pace and lead the way.
I look forward to meeting with you, learning about your journey and helping you find your path!
