Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. I have a passion for helping others and have over 11 years of experience in the Mental Health field. First five years of my career I worked alongside a team of professionals in a clinic that provided treatment for various issues including, ADHD, anger, anxiety, depression, self-mutilation, grief and trauma to children, adolescents and adults. This is where I learned the foundation of how mental illness affects people’s ability to function daily, maintain healthy relationships, education and vocational needs and live a happy life. I was also able to see how diagnosing, testing and treatments can have a positive effect in recovery. From there I moved on to work with the military population, were I provide solution-focused therapy to service members and their families. Working with the Military has sharpened my skills and provided me with the ability to help individuals, families and anyone affiliated with the military by providing psychoeducation, presentations, short-term counseling and groups on life skills and military lifestyle. Services include anger management, communication, relationship, conflict resolution, grief and loss, parenting and decision making that are affected by the deployment cycle, relocation and separation. I am confident in my abilities and professionalism to provide a safe, relaxed and caring environment in order to help with your needs and challenges. I have the energy, motivation and skills to help implement daily living skills, set goals and adjust to change. My preferred approaches are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Attachment Theory and Client-Centered Therapy.
