Therapists » Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
My Therapeutic Approach: I work with individuals of all ages, including children through adults. I offer both office/in-person and Telehealth sessions. I use a relationship-based, client-focused, collaborative, and trauma-informed approach to counseling. I consider all domains that make up a whole person- i. e. mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, etc. It is my philosophy that with patience, determination, trust, and meaningful connection, insight and healing are attainable. I am passionate about supporting individuals while they navigate the various trials that occur in life. I find that it is helpful to validate strengths and motivations as a way to empower individuals to take control of their own lives. It is my goal as a therapist to help people begin to address their presenting issues by first providing them with unconditional support in a safe space. Together, we then work to uncover underlying sources of pain, connect the impact that thoughts and feelings have on behaviors, strengthen self-awareness and acceptance, explore and incorporate effective coping skills into daily living, and relieve distress to ultimately improve functioning and quality of life.
