About me
I have worked with a variety of clients including children,teens, and adults of all ages. I believe in empowering individuals by helping them develop the skills needed to cope with many mental health struggles including depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar, and day to day stressors. I feel developing an understanding of how our symptoms affect our thinking, emotions, and actions helps develop those coping skills and work towards becoming the best version of ourselves.
AI am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with Diagnostic Privilege.I am certified with the National Board of Certified Counselors. I strive to help individuals of all ages (children aged 6 up to age 199) become the best version of themselves, If you or a loved one are feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood challenges, or just overwhelmed with life's stressors this is a great first step! Challenges such as the ones mentioned can really have a negative impact on day to day life. My goal is to empower you to navigate life’s challenges while building a sense of well-being.
What makes my practice unique is the individualized approach I bring to therapy. Just like every person experiences struggles differently, I believe in a flexible and personalized approach, which allows us to explore different methods to find what works best for you. Additionally I believe that authenticity and transparency is a must. Not only by you but myself as well. I not only bring my therapeutic skills to each session, I bring me with my belief that humor (when appropriate) is very therapeutic. I am always honored when I have the opportunity to be a part of another's journey and I truly believe that personal growth is possible, and I’m here to support you in achieving it. If you're ready to start your journey toward positive change,
