Immediate openings! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience helping adults navigate mental health challenges to achieve their "full life." I specialize in addressing anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with individuals diagnosed with Schizophrenia, Borderline Personality Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorders.
I believe in providing person-centered, non-judgmental care and empowering individuals with the tools they need to navigate life challenges and stressors—whether related to school, work, or family responsibilities. I utilize eclectic treatment approaches, incorporating elements from CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. I am trained in Prolonged Exposure used for PTSD.
It’s completely normal to feel a bit of hesitation or even a heavy knot in your chest when you think about starting therapy; it’s a big, brave step to decide that you no longer want to carry everything on your own. When you feel ready, I’d be truly honored to listen and walk alongside you as we figure out the next chapter together.
