As a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate, I am passionate about helping people navigate life's ups and downs. Using evidence-based techniques, I work with clients to challenge negative thoughts and develop positive coping strategies. I have experience working in family services, and love helping families improve their communication and strengthen their relationships. In addition, I have a background in substance use treatment, and I'm committed to providing tailored support to those on their recovery journey. I thrive to create a warm, welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, and personality disorders. I am here to support clients through life's challenges such as grief, relationship problems, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. I use evidence-based techniques including EMDR, CBT and DBT to help my clients understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
