About

The choice to pursue counseling is never an easy path to consider and can be paved with the negative stigma associated with seeking help. However I strive to help decrease the stigma associated with seeking out counseling services. I enjoy helping others gain insight into the issues they’re struggling with and enhancing their ability for personal growth and interpersonal enlightenment. I have a very energetic and charismatic personality that makes building rapport an easy and safe process. I have experience dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, parenting education, couples therapy, and family therapy and all ages. My theoretical orientation is based in Cognitive-Behavioral-Therapy, however I do consider myself a holistic therapist, in which I’m able to pull from other theoretical orientations to best fit the needs of my client. As you start your journey through the counseling process I will be more than happy to guide you in your journey and we will work together to find what best suits you. Please feel free to contact me and we can discuss how to get you started on your path of discovery.
