It takes courage to be vulnerable and open oneself to a stranger. Even more so to recognize the need for a safe space and a listening ear. The memories of the past, priorities of the present, and obligations of the future can seem like impossible mountains to climb. As a counselor, I will walk with you on your journey over the boulders of life, whether you’re seeking to reach the summit or come down from the mountain. In my life, I’ve had a variety of positive and negative experiences as a student, veteran, facilitator, and parent. My roles in corporate, school, non-profit, and inpatient settings have aided me as a counselor.
I've worked with adults, children, and parents, to address areas of depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, and social skills. I have 9 years of clinical experience and use several treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, Mindfulness, DBT, and EMDR trained.
I strive to provide you with a safe place to recognize the strengths you already possess, to blossom into the person you know you can be. I believe there are no quick fixes or easy paths in counseling and with each step, growth is possible. I look forward to sharing in your trials and your triumphs.
