I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and have been providing counseling services for 11 years in both face to face and virtual platforms. During my time I have been able to assist many individuals struggling with a wide variety of struggles including depression, anxiety, low self esteem, severe and persistent mental health symptoms, relational and family concerns, and substance abuse issues. My approach to counseling in each and every session is one that is focused on meeting the individual where they are. I am focused on making this process warm and comforting for you as I understand that the concerns being brought to the sessions are ones causing great discomfort. The theoretical approaches I utilize are Person Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, and Behavioral Therapy. Again, all of this is just saying that together we will begin processing through the concerns being presented and identify ways in which you can begin working through them. I understand that it takes a great deal of courage for one to reach out and ask for help and I commend you on taking this step. I am so blessed that you are choosing to allow me to be apart of this journey with you and am looking forward to meeting you. At this time I am able to provide services via the chat sessions and messages. I respond in the chat Monday through Friday checking in several times per day.

Do you find yourself struggling with loss or life changes and find it difficult to cope? Are you having symptoms of anxiety, depression, addictive or unhealthy behaviors? When many think of loss and grief, one may assume they have lost a loved one. At times this is the case, but there are so many kinds of losses we are faced with in our lives; loss of self, loss of roles in life, loss of relationship, chronic illness and many more. Losses can cause us to question our lives and who we are, and can even bring up past hurts or negative ways of coping that are not helping us achieve our best selves. I have been in the helping field since 1996, obtaining my LICSW in 2008. I have had the opportunity to help people in multiple settings and from different walks of life, which gives me the benefit of seeing things from different perspectives. As a therapist, I work from different types of therapy depending on what your need may be. I'm here to help you figure out what your needs and goals are, and to help you gain the insight you may need to make positive changes in your life, change unwanted behaviors, and the way you relate to others.
