Warm, welcoming Licensed Professional Counselor providing individual counseling services to adults looking to address a wide range of concerns. I aim to impart a sense of safety, support, and feeling truly heard, while assisting clients with identifying and reaching personal goals around change and growth.
Areas of competence include addiction, mood disorders, self esteem, LGBTQIA+ related concerns, and supporting mental health through physical wellness. My counseling approach is largely eclectic, borrowing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Integrative Medicine, and Solution-Focused therapy.
