Currently taking new clients. For Pacific Source OHP/community solutions and FCH. I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor, working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and adjusting to difficult life circumstances.
I am very much a listener and use a non-directive approach. I prefer to treat each individual as unique and strive to focus on personal strengths to help you regain the internal strength to handle the difficult circumstances that life has brought you. I can be creative and use visual imagery and try to focus on being sensitive to what is best for each session since each moment and experience we have in life is new and unique as well. I have a supportive stance and have experiences helping people with many different issues in life. I am also available for any faith based counseling needs that someone would want; this is done only to the degree that you are comfortable with and are asking to have in sessions. I have been a helper my entire life and have been told since high school that others enjoy talking with me and feel they can easily open up to me. I love meeting new people and am looking forward to working with you. I have many openings as I am building my caseload at this time and am awaiting insurance credentialing, the unfortunate downside of being a counselor. I can now see Pacific Sourse OHP Medicaid and FCH. Please feel free to contact me or Riverfront Mental Health in Salem OR for further questions about insurances and my availability.
