I have provided therapeutic interventions as an outpatient therapist and crisis counselor for about 7 years. I have worked with people with acute mental health concerns and people with serious and persistent mental health disorders. I have worked with people of diverse backgrounds. In helping clients achieve their mental health goals, I acknowledge and support developing a strong therapeutic relationship with my client to best support my clients in developing awareness and skills needed to achieve the therapeutic goals that you set. I believe in a client-centered approach that focuses on interventions that will work best with each, individual client for the best result.  I understand that people have things that come up in their lives while working on goals and have, and hope to continue to, help my clients learn skills needed to help manage those problems and increase awareness of how they impact my clients' mental health. I will support you in making changes in your mental health when you are ready to begin.

I am very passionate and driven to help provide my clients with compassionate, empathetic, ethical, and culturally competent care that will help them achieve their objectives and goals. I believe therapy is not one size fits all, and that treatment should be tailored according to the unique needs of every client. I will meet you wherever you are at on your journey and help guide you every step of the way. My goal is to help provide you with a safe and caring environment to help foster a collaborative relationship and give you the best chance for success. I would be honored to walk with you on your journey. Please know that you are not alone, and you matter!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) with prior experience in both Inpatient and Outpatient Mental Health settings. With my variety of experience, I am passionate about providing a safe and supportive environment for my clients as they grow. I take both a collaborative and holistic approach, building a 'helping' relationship based on compassion, empathy, and trust; empowering those I work with to reignite the best version of themselves. I enjoy incorporating aspects of DBT, CBT, mindfulness, and art therapy, along with strategies that consist of a strengths-based and person-centered approach.

I am a person-centered therapist whose main focus is on what you need as a client. I believe that therapy should be tailored to each individual, which is why I use a variety of therapeutic methods in an eclectic style designed to suit your unique situation. Whether it's exploring emotions, addressing challenges, or building new coping strategies, I strive to create a supportive and non-judgmental space where you feel empowered to grow and heal. I am always open to trying new approaches that align with your needs and preferences because I understand that each journey is personal. My ultimate goal is to help you discover what would make your life more fulfilling, balanced, prosperous, and manageable, while fostering your ability to thrive in your own way. Together, we will work towards creating meaningful and lasting change.

"It's not about what it is, it's about what it can become." One of my favorite quotes from Dr. Seuss; his wise words sum up my approach to working with any client, from preschool age to midlife. I believe in transparency and client empowerment; YOU are the one who decides what your goals are. My hope and my goal are to help you work through whatever obstacles you may face and develop a roadmap for success. With several years of experience in trauma therapy, I believe in establishing a safe environment, and I promise all of my clients that their voices will be heard. I look forward to working with you and discovering what can become of the journey we take together!
