Here to Help You Heal
Seeking therapy or counseling can be overwhelming, but reaching out for support in life can lead to positive change. While it’s not possible to change what has happened in the past or things beyond one’s control, I believe that every individual can work toward a better understanding of themselves and learn coping strategies to manage challenges and change.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), CASAC-Advanced Counselor (CASAC-AC), and Certified Anger Management Specialist-II (CAMS-II), I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families to reduce symptoms of distress and build the capability to handle life’s inevitable demands and anxieties. My expertise includes substance use treatment, community residence programs, and private practice, as well as facilitating group and individual sessions with children, adolescents, and families in school and mental health settings.
My Approach to Care
As a therapist, I aim to support you in feeling a sense of relief, if only for a short time, and to explore a deeper understanding of yourself. Such moments are important and extremely valuable. My therapeutic approach is eclectic and based on your individual needs, using a mix of approaches to help you realize these moments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness therapy.
At all times, trust that your concerns will be discussed in a safe and judgement-free environment that emphasizes both symptom reduction and skills development to manage life’s inevitable challenges. We’ll work together to help you in identifying and reframing unhelpful thinking patterns, understanding emotional responses, and cultivating the motivation and clarity needed to pursue your personal goals.
Personal Interests
When I’m not in the office, you’ll still find me working on my passion for neuropsychology. I am dedicated to studying the ways we can retrain our brain’s neurological pathways to change our behaviors and our way of thinking.
