Hello! My goal is for you to feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn, grow and overcome current obstacles to be your best self. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with children, adolescents, and adults. I enjoy teaching skills that can be used to help regulate overwhelming emotions, communicate more effectively, and improve meaningful relationships.
My broad experience allows me to work with a variety of therapeutic concerns, such as, grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, life transitions, and parenting challenges. I have advanced training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and I am also a Licensed Behavior Specialist who has experience working with Autism.
