I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience working with adults ages 18 and over. I have extensive work in crisis and trauma; often assisting individuals suffering with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and relational issues. In addition to my crisis work; I work with individuals who are suffering with more moderate symptoms who may be having difficulty coping with a recent transition, breakup, feeling stuck at work or frustrated with fitness or nutritional concerns. I operate from a more holistic background and, in addition to talk therapy, I work with clients on making lifestyle changes to help them move towards identified goals. I believe that therapy is a partnership and I strive to be as available and supportive for clients as possible!
