Currently Accepting New Clients. I believe that therapy is not the process of fixing a problem, but rather it’s a space to strengthen one’s sense of self. My goal as a Licensed Professional Counselor is to provide support through conversation and interventions that empower clients to live a healthy and fulfilling life.
Prior to becoming a mental health therapist, I was a High School Algebra teacher. In my time as an educator, I gained valuable experience working on a team that strived to create a supportive and growth-based environment for our students. My time in academics has provided the foundation for my transition into mental health.
I currently work with clients aged 14-65 and have experience in the following areas: anxiety, OCD, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief and adjustment-related concerns. I utilize a range of treatment modalities based on client needs including CBT, DBT, ACT, and Mindfulness. I have advanced training in ERP therapy to manage OCD, phobias, panic and PTSD symptoms.
