I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC). I often tell people that this field chose me. I have always had a strong interest in the human mind & human behavior. Always had the question of “why” when it came to our perceptions throughout this human experience. I still search for the universal law behind everything I see. I have a strong passion for working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression & everyday life stressors. I also enjoy working with pre-school (2-4) and school-aged (5-17) youth who are facing issues with their social-emotional skill development & behavior mngt.My background and experience include Individual therapy, Foster Care, Trauma & Crisis Response with inpatient and outpatient settings, ABA Therapy in Autism Day Programs for youth, Neurofeedback and FASD, and Youth Residential facilities.The client is the expert of their lives. So, I often use approaches that are all about you: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Play Therapy. I firmly believe that the therapeutic process should be collaborative and holistic.
