I am a licensed professional counselor with nine years of experience. I am well versed in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy. I have specialized training in Bipolar Disorder, Mood Disorders, Trauma and PTSD, Child Abuse or Neglect, and Spirituality. My communication style includes empathy and openness. I encourage excellent communication skills and will teach you to achieve them. With excellent communication comes outstanding achievements and empowerment towards your mental health.
I strive to create a comfortable, safe, and supportive atmosphere. I am here to help you have more grace and compassion for yourself. I listen carefully and ask questions, assisting you to think and ponder on the reality of any situation, how better to process it, and how best to move forward. Clients who are ready for change benefit most from my approach.
In our first session, I’ll ask you to discuss your current problems and what brings you to therapy. I aim to set a tone of trust for the slow exploration of problems that is most effective in building healthy mental health. If it sounds like we might be a good fit for your journey, I welcome you to reach out and get started today!

I strive to create a comfortable, safe, and supportive atmosphere filled with compassion and genuineness. Starting therapy is a hard decision, and my goal is to work with clients to build a trusting relationship where they are comfortable talking about what brought them to therapy in the first place.
