As your counselor, I am here to support you in making meaning, creating comfort, and uncovering resources to help you be your best self. Taking an evidenced-based, client centered, and existentially informed approach, I aim to provide a safe and supportive space where we can collaborate and work at your own pace to help you reach your goals. I work with individuals from a variety of backgrounds on issues including depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, grief and loss, career transitions, and other mental health and life concerns. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have a particular gift,interest, experience in working with diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,oppositional defiant disorder, and adjustment disorder, along with both adults and children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, intellectual developmental disabilities. Prior to licensure provided services as a registered behavioral technician with certification. I build a strong rapport that encompasses personal, educational and recreational goals while incorporating them into the treatment plans with a major focus for “work” in therapy. I have served clients in outpatient and in-home settings. In addition to more traditional counseling techniques, I also utilize art, play therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), to help clients work through distress and build resiliency.
