Starting therapy can be a scary and also exciting time. You have decided to make a change! I work hard to create a safe, positive place for you to process, reflect and grow. I am a licensed mental health counselor and have been working in the field for 9 years. I have worked with all different populations and diagnoses and strive to build honest and solid therapeutic relationships with those that I work with.
I have extensive training in trauma informed care including Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Progressive Counting. I also have experience with helping those with anxiety, panic, phobias, depression, and mood disorders. I see adults, children (ages 5-10), couples and families.
I pride myself on being an empathetic ear to those who need it. I invite you to reach out so we can start this journey together.
