I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who is passionate about helping people to find healthy and effective solutions to their problems from within themselves. I provide a safe, confidential setting where there is no judgment, only acceptance of the unique individual you are. I am adept at working with adolescents and adults, as individuals or in groups who are trying to rebuild life and establish a new “norm” after some type of life altering event. The clients whom I have served range from 5 years old to 87 years young. I primarily utilize CBT and DBT skills and techniques when working with adolescent and adult clients who have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, Adjustment Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD and other anxiety disorders, addictions, and personality disorders. I take a holistic approach with my clients, which means that I realize that each person, each issue, operates within a system that is comprised of many parts. If one part is weak or worn out, then the others have to compensate, making the whole less effective than it could be. My goal is to help you, the client, identify and maximize your strengths, while also gaining insight into your triggers so that you can learn skills to help you cope and live a happier, healthier life. |
