About

I am a social worker with 4 years experience working as an licensed social worker in the mental health field, with 3 years serving as a case manager in the field of community mental health. I have worked with client of all ages with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia, PTSD and other and trauma-related disorders. I have also helped people process and cope with life stressors such as coping with loss, navigating stressors of homelessness, and more. I have also completed an educational certificate in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral therapy and specialized in trauma across the life span in my graduate level studies.

My counseling style is warm, easy going, and I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. I have a gentle spirit and strive to create a counseling environment where my clients feel safe, welcomed, and secure. I enjoy using cognitive behavioral approaches in counseling and also have experience with Motivational Interviewing and trauma-focused therapy. I strive to tailor the treatment plan and goals to meet your unique and specific needs.

I also am a Christian and have a strong faith in God. I think there is a lot of wisdom found in the Word of God that can be applied to the therapy setting and utilized as a strength and asset in the therapeutic process. I also enjoy reading Christian books on anxiety, depression, and the power of our thoughts and utilizing these as a tool when it is appropriate. If clients desire, I would love to find ways to incorporate this into the therapy setting. I understand everyone has a different view on faith so I am respectful if people do not want this incorporated into sessions.

It takes courage to seek help and I understand it is not always easy. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
