Are you looking for a supportive and confidential place to explore difficult emotions, develop problem solving strategies and coping skills to manage the stressors in your life? You’ll be able to speak with an experienced counselor who can listen with empathy and provide an objective point of view. I am interactive and engaging, believing you are the expert of your life with your own unique strengths, values, and resources to effectively cope and grow. My style is warm and compassionate, offering non-judgmental feedback which fosters insight. I have over 14 years of experience working in a variety of settings, including an inpatient psychiatric hospital and community mental health clinics. I've helped clients who have struggled with issues such as anxiety, depression, bereavement, addiction, self-harm, low self-esteem, family conflict, and parenting issues. My practice utilizes evidence based techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy with a humanistic and culturally-sensitive approach. Interventions are tailored to fit the needs and comfort of my client. I welcome people of all racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, and sexual orientations to my practice.
