I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. My years of experience comes from a variety of settings: outpatient treatment institutions, inpatient treatment institutions, and community based settings which have included one on one sessions. I utilize the following therapeutic approaches: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Strength based therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness. I have training and experiences working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, anger issues, and addiction. Everyone has their own narratives/perspectives and I understand it can be challenging to be vulnerable with your thoughts and emotions but the reward of validating yourself can be most healing. I am confident I can teach you to identify and validate your emotions in a healthy manner. I can help and/or be that listening ear. Change is possible when you are willing to make a commitment to the process. I challenge you to be open minded and be courageous with me....

For over 25 years I have had the privilege of supporting others in their journey toward awareness and self improvement. When we are open to looking at patterns of behavior we can uncover barriers to our ideal self. I utilize a Client Centered approach incorporating Solution Focused Brief Therapy and CBT. I enjoy working with people of all ages and I have experience working with clients in group homes, outpatient settings, crisis situations, families and couples to name just a few. Most recently I have become interested in the mind-body connection and using Mindfulness and meditation to improve that connection in my personal life and with clients. I have also been trained in hypnotherapy and use those skills as well as guided imagery to support my clients in achieving their goals. It is important to set goals that are achievable. If we create goals that are too big we run the risk of getting overwhelmed and giving up too quickly. I can help create small steps to goals to feel how success feels right from the beginning. I love what I do, helping support people on their journey and I look forward to working with you.

As you reach out for help you will come to realize that it is during these time exactly, when we grow the most - find your balance, and find your path. I will be here for you, to listen and give you the safe space to figure things out.
