About me
Hello! I am a mental health counselor at New Directions Counseling Center where I offer individual, couples, and family counseling services. I have experience working with all ages and am available to provide counseling services for children, adolescents, and adults! In my practice I prioritize person-centered services to meet clients specific needs and assure that anyone who walks through my door feels heard and supported through their healing journeys.
I provide person-centered counseling to address specific needs for each client, including but not limited to social and cultural needs. While I utilize a wide variety of therapy techniques, I primary help my clients from the beliefs of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
Whether you are seeking services because you have no idea where else to turn or you simply need someone to talk to, I am here to provide a safe space for you to achieve your goals. I recognize that simply asking for help makes us feel vulnerable so I am here to help you feel as comfortable and supported as possible through your healing journey!
