Working with clients of all ages has increased my insight and efficacy in treatment. Some issues include: divorce, anxiety and related disorders, trauma, parenting skills, depression, domestic issues, anger management, grief, friendship/social skills, family relationships, communication skills, and more. My experience in both school and clinical settings has prepared me to work with individuals from all walks of life. I can provide sessions in-person or via telehealth based on your needs. I believe in the importance of developing therapeutic relationships with my clients to provide the healthiest environment possible for growth.
I am an eclectic and hands on counselor that prefers to shape my methods of approach to each individual's unique needs, but the methods I prefer to pull from most frequently are CBT, SFBT, Person Centered Therapy, and play therapy. I am a National Certified Counselor as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor.
I'm passionate about mental health and firmly believe everyone benefits from counseling no matter their circumstances. I encourage you to reach out even if you're unsure. You have a safe and welcoming space to share your burdens with me and I will do everything in my power to help you reach your counseling goals.

Cbt is my first choice for treatment modality. Educating my clients supports growth and change which enables them to achieve their goals. In our first session we would typically explore what brought you to therapy and decide on treatment goals together.
