I have always been interested in what makes people who they are and behave the way they do. As a Licensed Professional Counselor for the past 20 years, I have gained extensive knowledge and experience pertaining to how mental health issues present in children and adults and the impact of mental health and life transitions on my client’s functioning and relationships.
I believe the relationship between counselor and client plays a large role in making counseling successful. I have been fortunate to form lasting relationships with my clients; resulting in clients returning years after ending treatment when they face new challenges and/or a relapse in their mental health. My mission is to provide my clients with a positive experience, so they can experience the benefits of therapy and utilize therapy as a resource throughout their lives.
My goal for therapy is to create a safe space for my clients to process their experiences and mental health challenges. In the therapeutic process, I frequently provide psychoeducation on emotional regulation, assertiveness, communication skills, boundary setting and enforcement, and conflict resolution. I provide my client’s with education, tools, and resources to use while in treatment and after the counseling relationship has ended.
I look forward to walking with you as you begin this journey of self-exploration and growth.
