About My Clients

I specialize in working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, as well as athletes seeking performance enhancement. My approach helps clients to achieve their goals. I also use interventions for self-esteem building, academic success, family dynamics, and career development.

My Background and Approach

I have been in the school districts as a school counselor for 3 years after working in community mental health for 2 years. I believe in providing my client with unconditional positive regard, empathy and congruence. I want to work with you in a partnership and help guide you on your path. In our sessions I use skills from CBT and Solution Focused approaches to meet your needs. Our first session will be an opportunity for you to share your story, what brought you to therapy and what your goals are. I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment, that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. We will work together in session to help you reach your goals.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in providing my client with unconditional positive regard, empathy and congruence. I want to work with you in a partnership and help guide you on your path. In our sessions I use skills from CBT and Solution Focused approaches to meet your needs. In sessions we might use thought records to understand your current challenges while using scaling questions to track progress toward your goals. This combination helps us address present concerns while building on your strengths to create positive changes.
