I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor with Masters degrees in Professional Counseling and Addiction Counseling. I specialize in adults and children with emotional, behavioral and cognitive difficulties. I have extensive experience with anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, situational stress, relationships, conflict resolution, coaching, addiction and trauma. I have worked in a short-term and long-term capacity for both individual and groups across inpatient, outpatient, residential and in-home settings. My approach is authentic with the goal to have a happier and healthier version of my clients. I view all my therapy as short-term with the goal of the client becoming independent. Of course, this is done on an individualized basis. I believe therapy is a team approach and I work with my clients to accomplish their goals using guidance, support and processing to enable long-term change. At the heart of all my work you will find a strength-based and solution focused approach with the client at the core.
