• I am an open-minded, understanding, compassionate counselor whose passion is collaborating with individuals who are taking steps to improve their mental health. Without judgement I listen to the individual and then teach them the skills they need to overcome life challenges. Every individual is unique and learns differently, so I approach every person with the mindset that not every therapy technique works the same for everyone. • I have experience collaborating with individuals who are struggling with ADHD-Adjustment Disorder-Depression- Anxiety-PTSD-Domestic Violence- and Anger Management. • My approach can include cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, or rational-emotive therapy; however, I identify with an eclectic style which enables me to use what works for that person at that moment. • My life experiences help me empathize with my clients and to understand them better. I also have military ties as a child and currently as an adult. I understand the struggles they face, such as the struggles with adjustment that comes with repeated deployment and relocating. • I am a warm and interactive counselor who believes in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. • I provide genuine Christian Faith Based Therapy through my own faith which can be a great source of strength when we are facing challenges in our lives. Faith Base Therapy is an option for you but is not a necessity for us to work together.
