About Me

Finding someone that we can talk to about our personal struggles can be very difficult nowadays - especially someone who we believe is actually listening, genuinely cares about our well being, and someone whom we feel we can trust to keep our “secrets”. Because of issues such as these, I would like for all my clients to know that I put great value in the confidential relationship found in the counseling setting, and I believe that it's not just a therapist’s technique that helps people heal and change, but the relationship created between the therapist and her clients, which is why I make that a priority while working with each individual. My goal as a counselor is to help my clients gain a better quality of life and interpersonal well-being while giving real tools in a trusting environment to help people face life's disruptions. For me, counseling is about people processing through life together in a safe and healthy environment. My overall counseling style is cognitive/behavioral in nature, allowing freedom for laughter and tears, conversation and silence, reason and emotion.

In my counseling sessions, I use a variety of techniques including person-centered therapy, which focuses on developing a strong therapeutic alliance with empathy, genuineness, and respect; cognitive-behavioral therapy, which focuses on modifying thoughts to develop more healthy emotions and behaviors; and existential therapy, which focuses on client empowerment, finding meaning in life, and dealing with life’s inherent anxieties. Overall, I strive to pair specific techniques from a variety of therapeutic approaches with a specific client's needs, empowering them to find hope, meaning, and purpose in life.

I enjoy working with adolescents, couples, and adults. I have 5+ years of experience working with individuals with issues ranging from basic depression/anxiety to bipolar, eating disorders, self-esteem, addiction, PTSD and more. I hope that if you are looking for someone who will genuinely listen to you, guide you with your important decisions and struggles, and develop a close and caring relationship with you throughout your journey that you would get in touch with me and give me the opportunity to help assist you in all that you need!
