Biography
I am a licensed mental health counselor with many years of clinical experience. I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of people over the course of my career, dealing with a wide range of mental health issues that are impacting their ability to function the way they want to. I‘ve also had the chance to work with many budding professionals as they struggle with burnout, decision fatigue and determining what the next steps in their career should be. I also have a significant specialty in working with substance abuse and addictions.
Over my years in the field I have found it crucial to show up to each session as authentically myself as I can. My approach is honest and direct, which I hope gives whoever I‘m working with the space to share openly without fear of judgment. I have a genuine interest and desire to support those working to better themselves. Choosing to start a therapeutic journey takes courage and I believe creates a window of opportunity within which a lot of great work can be done.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Person Centered approaches primarily in my practice, and I am careful to assess through a trauma informed lens.
For those feeling that it‘s time for a change, I work to create a safe space to process and to begin taking steps forward. Issues like addiction or chronic anxiety are beasts that can wear you down and infect every area of your life. Determining where to start can be overwhelming – but there is no need to go it alone.
I am eager to make my clinical and lived experiences available to those I work with, as they commence or continue on the path to an improved self.
