As a licensed mental health counselor, I value providing a non-judgmental therapeutic presence that is full of empathy, flexibility, empowerment and emotional guidance. I make sure to use a collaborative approach that works alongside with you to help identify your personal strengths and goals that pertain to your specific needs. I have a passion working with adults of any age and also have many years of experience working with college students and the geriatric population. Some of my specialties include but are not limited to bereavement, trauma, anxiety, depression, stress management, self-esteem, relationships, terminal illness and chronic illness. With over a decade of working in the mental health field, I’ve had the opportunity to acquire experiences with people of many different backgrounds facing a wide variety of issues. I’ve received foundational training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and have also acquired experience with implementing different treatment modalities that include psychodynamic therapy, existential therapy, solution-focused therapy, person-centered therapy and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. Overall, I look forward to offering a safe space where we can sort through any difficult thoughts and feelings and get started with the process of personal growth and healing.
