Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC, NCC, CCTP, CIMHP
I thank you for taking the time to get to know me. We all face times in life where we struggle with the stressors of life, family responsibilities, and work-life balance. I practice a mind/body holistic approach to wellness. I offer you a free phone consultation to discuss issues prior to therapy.
Therapy should be as unique as you are. As a therapist, I try to make sure you feel as comfortable as you need to feel in order to discuss the difficult stuff. I draw from my previous career, my education, and my own lived experience in order to make a connection with you, and help you be comfortable. I love to just have a conversation with my clients, getting to know who they are and how their challenges affect them, and subsequently, how to best approach each challenge to address it most effectively.
My passion is to help people realize what is possible, what they are capable of, and finding their best self. I specialize in transitions - in health, life, love and work. Living with a chronic illness or caring for someone with a chronic illness can be overwhelming. Transitioning from what has been to that "new normal" can be scary. I have been there and live through it myself. Taking care of a loved one? Been there. In today's world we are all dealing with changes at work and home and in our communities. Whether it is dealing with transition in your health, your job or school, I will walk with you and support you in your journey. I will meet you where you are, and together we will collaborate in your personal growth through self discovery, self acknowledgement and self care. I use a strength based approach, combining it with CBT, mindfulness and somatic approaches. We may integrate some IFS techniques along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to walk you through any anxiety, depression and pain and help you get to the root cause of what is keeping you from feeling like you are living your best self. I see clients ages 10 and up.
