As a Licensed Professional Counselor, it is my responsibility to provide individuals with quality treatment in order to guide them on a path to a more enjoyable life. I provide individuals with the tools needed to be strong and confident about their ability to take control over their lives, and take back the power over their debilitating or undesirable moods, thoughts, and actions. The things I enjoy most about counseling are seeing hope return, providing support, helping individuals recognize that they are not alone or "abnormal," and guiding people on their journey to a better life.
I have a Masters degree in Counseling and I have experience working with individuals, including children, teens, and adults. Most of the people I work with struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other challenges. My treatment focus is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).
Deciding to get help is difficult but now that you have taken that step, give me a call and see if I am a good fit for you. What is most important to me is that you get the help you need, whether it is from me or someone else.
