About My Clients
I’m a licensed Mental Health Counselor, and I typically work with teens, young adults, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, compassionate and collaborative. I believe that therapy should be a space where you feel safe to be honest and understood without judgment as well as supported as you work toward meaningful change.
My Background and Approach
I am a nationally certified counselor, a licensed Mental Health Counselor, and also a board certified Life coach. I have a decade of experience working in schools and in education I have eight years of experience working in Mental Health through the school system, private practice, and also community mental health. I have a wide breadth of experience working with all ages. My specialties include anxiety, depression, self image, ADHD, childhood trauma, abuse, intimate partner violence, relationship issues, career changes, life transitions, and identity issues. I use a person centered approach while incorporating talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR therapy when needed. I lean heavily on my clients to guide our treatment planning and our goals for therapy. I work collaboratively with my client in order to help them see the results that they are looking for.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in the power of change and I also believe in the power of a strong sense of self-worth. I work collaboratively with my clients believing that they are the experts in their own life. I love to listen and ask helpful questions while also challenging my clients when it’s needed. I’m in it for the long run and tend to do more long-term therapy although I am also credentialed to use short-term therapy and life coaching skills when needed. Many of my clients feel symptom relief after a few sessions and report that it feels better just to talk to someone. I have also had great results with EMDR. I find that most people who come in wanting to work on themselves and also work through the issues that they have been dealing with find that when they focus on something it tends to get better. We will work together on coming up with the tools and resources that you need to be successful.
