About My Clients

Are you always a little bit afraid that an anxiety attack is waiting around the corner? Have you been hit with surprise anxiety more times than you can count? I know exactly what you're feeling: the pounding chest, the shortness of breath, the feeling that the walls are closing in and you need out NOW. I'd love to walk alongside you in restoring your peace.

My Background and Approach

My style in counseling is a heavily strength-based approach, specifically using modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy and Mindfulness. I am also trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I also believe that overall wellness not only stems from our mental health, but our physical, spiritual and emotional health as well! If faith is something that is important to you, I would love to in cooperate that into sessions to the extent that you are comfortable with.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I truly believe that you are the expert of your own story and I am someone who can provide a peaceful presence, to walk along side you, encourage you, remind you of truth in this beautiful healing journey.
