About

I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor who has worked in the field for almost 7 years. I received my masters degree in Mental Health counseling from Seton Hall University in 2014 through their online program. I really enjoyed the freedom and flexibility to obtain my degree while I moved throughout the US. I also enjoyed the online format which gave me the experience to learn with others throughout the country and also the world!

I have experience with co-occurring disorders - mental health and substance abuse. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing but I also meet the client where they are at therapy wise. With that being said I am also very person-centered focused and take extra time to build rapport with everyone I work with. My experience started out with depression, anxiety, LGBTQ, coping\stress and substance abuse related issues. Throughout my experience I have continued to expand my knowledge and skills with bipolar and personality disorders, parenting, relationship and self-esteem related issues.

I tend to be very honest and forthcoming with the people that I have worked with, yet I find a balance that is sensitive and appropriate according to each persons needs. It can be a very tough, judgmental world out there. I am here to help you learn to cope with with the curve balls life may have thrown at you. You have just made a big step to ask for help. I would be honored in helping you with meeting your goals and addressing some of the concerns or issues you feel that you may be experiencing. I am happy to walk next to you through your journey, if you let me!
