Hi. Nice to meet you! I am a dual licensed therapist (Licensed Professional Counselor & Licensed Alcohol Drug Counselor). I have been in the field since 2011. I specialize in working with individuals facing a variety of challenges. This includes, but is not limited to: anger management, anxiety, bipolar disorder, codependency, depression, grief, life transitions, parenting concerns, peer relationship issues, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, stress, substance abuse issues, trauma & PTSD, and women’s issues. I believe in cultivating a strong therapeutic relationship and building a trusting connection with each client. I frequently utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, while also incorporating strategies from other therapeutic approaches. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns to better manage current challenges and improve overall well-being. In our first session, we will complete an assessment together. I will ask questions to better understand what has brought you to therapy & to learn more about your concerns, needs, & goals so we can create a plan that best supports you. I am passionate about this work because I enjoy empowering clients to create meaningful change & sustain that that growth.
