About me
I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) with IMMEDIATE openings Monday-Thursday mornings
I have extensive experience working with the adolescent & young adult population (ages 13-25) and have training in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). My passion involves working with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, conflict resolution, adjusting to life transitions, and interpersonal issues. I view therapy as a collaborative process where clients can learn skills to manage emotions, build healthy relationships, and create a sense of meaning and purpose in life.
I've worked in a variety of mental health settings including: outpatient, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, and residential treatment. I primarily utilize a strengths-based approach that works from both CBT and DBT treatment modalities.
My approach involves creating a space where each client feels both seen and heard, in a relaxed environment. I believe each client is the expert on their life experiences and aim to provide a safe and supportive setting that allows each client to make progress toward their therapeutic goals. I'd consider it a privilege to hear your story and work together!
