Hello! I am glad you are here. You have come to my page because there is some type of struggle in your life right now. The search for support is a brave step and an important step. I am here to help you navigate this part of your journey by supporting you along the way. Here is a little more information about me: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor and I have been in the helping profession in one way or another for more than nine years. My first professional career was as an Elementary teacher and then I moved into Middle School/High School counseling, and as a Social Emotional Counselor for the alternative education program. I currently supervise licensed professionals for the same school district. Through my school-work career, I have had opportunities to work with people of all ages. I have the unique experience of seeing firsthand how a crisis, grief, interpersonal conflict, trauma, and family conflict can impact each person in the family in a different way. When we work together I hope to build a meaningful connection, so that the work you do is specific to your needs and your growth. My approach may vary depending on what you need and what you’re hoping to gain. Primarily I focus on a client-centered approach in which unconditional regard to your care is key. I may also utilize tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Reality Therapy, Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered therapy. Some of the tools from those approaches help YOU empower YOU! My goal as your professional counselor is to provide a safe and ethical space for you to explore, work through, and grow emotionally. I consider myself laid back, non-judgmental, and a good perspective taker. I hope that I may help you during this time in your life.
