I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor with over 20 years of experience working within various community settings. I have worked with a wide range of people who have experienced difficulties with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, vocational challenges, trauma, and parenting concerns.
I believe in a person-centered, compassionate, empathic counseling approach combined with cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and reality therapies. I enjoy helping people address thought patterns, increase self-awareness, and work towards developing emotional wellness to enable healing. I believe in treating each person with respect and dignity, within a safe and supportive environment.
I look forward to working together with you!
