In the past, I have worked in an agency setting where I work with adults who are diagnosed with Substance Abuse disorders. Through their journey, I have been able to develop an expertise in co-occurring disorders, including but not limited to depression and anxiety. I am now ready to expand my career to include children who may need assistance with mental health disorders, or maybe just feel like they have trouble fitting in.
Sessions with me will be driven by client input, and together, we will develop solutions that work for you and your life. Some of the interventions I use include: play therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and solution focused therapy. I also am able to offer sessions online or in person, which ever best suits you and your needs.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I understand the struggles of every day life - from trying to narrow down and specify just one goal to living through a pandemic while also managing anxiety and stress.
I want to assist individuals, couples, and families, ages 5 to 99+, on their chosen paths to living a healthy, mentally stable lifestyle by creating a safe, compassionate, and caring environment where individuals are free to be themselves, where they are comfortable in their own skins, where they can identify their strengths, identify their goals, and pursue those goals on their timeline. I also want to strive to help families define their normal and achieve that vision, while developing a positive self-esteem, healthy coping skills, and appropriate boundaries.
