I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 5 years of experience working as a counselor and life coach. I have worked with clients with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, as well as supporting individuals and families healing from trauma/abuse situations. My therapy style is conversational, supportive and inviting. I believe in treating anyone with respect, compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. Instead, I believe it is vital to meet individuals exactly in the midst of their struggle to find a way out. My approach includes solution-focused (good for very short-term counseling), family systems (good for understanding relationship dynamics), client-centered (good for reaching full potential) and cognitive-behavioral therapies (good for improving self-esteem). I will customize our time together and your treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs/goals for therapy. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you through the process.
