I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and I strive to form a collaborative therapeutic relationship with clients to improve their overall quality of life. I utilize a variety of treatment modalities including cognitive behavioral interventions, strengths-based model, and solution focused therapy. No one size fits all and each client deserves a unique treatment plan and goals. Together we can work to treat anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, addictions, insecurities, and other life challenges.
I specialize in helping clients develop better cognitive, emotional and coping skills for various life challenges. I strive to provide a safe, warm, nonjudgmental environment in which to grow & bring about positive change. I want to encourage clients to find their strengths & courage to confront and make sense of difficult emotions so they can flourish.
My hope for the therapeutic process is to help clients engage and enhance their capacity for reflection and self-awareness to better understand and navigate their past, present, and future. I am excited to work with you to live the life you deserve and desire!
