Therapists in Luke, MD

Hi! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 8 years of counseling experience. I have worked with individuals and families presenting with a wide range of concerns. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma, loss, and with families in conflict. I have also worked with individuals struggling with various life transitions. I have counseled in mental health clinics with clients within criminal justice settings (adult and adolescent), and as a school-based therapist for teens. My counseling philosophy is that YOU are the expert of your own life; and therefore, you know BEST what you need. My approach is integrative, incorporating different therapeutic techniques to make sure that your specific concern is addressed in the way most effective for you. Our work together will always be person (you)- centered and strength-based; because, again, I truly believe that you have what it takes to succeed. My role is to guide and support you in building the skills and confidence necessary to accomplish whatever goals you have may have set for yourself. Together, we can deconstruct "stinking thinking" and unhealthy habits; and, replace them with healthy thought patterns and habits. Congratulations on taking the first step, seeking therapy. I look forward to meeting you and to begin working together! Let's do it!

A therapeutic relationship is a trusting, meaningful, and nonjudgmental relationship where healing can begin. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor I work with my clients to gain an understanding and manage issues that may be interfering with their everyday life, relationships, and/or personal growth. My goal is to help clients find happiness in the present moment while exploring possibilities of the future regardless of their current circumstance. My passion is to help individuals find their strengths, courage, and confidence to build resiliency. In my work as a therapist, I have over 10 yrs. experience working with individuals, families, and couples in variety settings. My work is very integrative due to my use of several therapeutic approaches which include trauma work, CBT, Solution Focus, Person-Centered, Mindfulness, and Behavioral therapy. Mental health symptoms may emerge or worsen during times of uncertainty, major life decision, transitions, or with intrusive memories of the past. Regardless of the issue, I work with my clients to eliminate these symptoms and navigate you through difficult times to regain stability.

I am certified as an LCPC in Montana and have over 15 years of experience in the field. I believe that most people want to and have it in them to help themselves. We all just need some support and direction sometimes. I originally got into the mental health world through how we think during sport/activity because I feel it is important to meet people in a venue that works for them whether that’s sport, activity or using an easier to access format. From there I kept going deeper and deeper into what influences our happiness and fulfillment and what makes us feel successful. Along that path I’ve had experience performance coaching, working with youth and those recovering from injury, working with those in crisis, LGBTQ+ folks, weight loss coaching, using biofeedback and physiological aspects to address stress and anxiety, coaching sport, and teaching at both the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels among other things. These experiences have culminated in my style being very open, non judgemental and patient while being equally practical and theoretical. I believe in capitalizing on your strengths. My style is skills based utilizing coping skills/CBT/DBT and mindfulness skills, and am direct when needed. However no two clients and relationships are the same and I utilize aspects from many approaches that fit the situation best. I really respect those working to improve themselves as I believe it can be a life long process. (I know it is for me!) Thanks for taking the time to see if we might be a good fit working together.
