Hello, please click on my website to schedule a free consult. I worked in the behavioral health field for several years before beginning my career as a counselor. Before that I was a stay-at-home mom to two boys. My journey as a counselor began because I wanted to help guide people in managing their complex feelings and emotions, so that they could experience a peace of mind and healthier outcomes in their interpersonal lives. I want my clients to feel safe opening up to me. I am empathetic, open-minded and inclusive. I honor all colors, cultures, identities, and preferences, and I believe it takes strength and courage to seek help.I believe in the benefits of nurturing a therapeutic alliance with my clients by building rapport with them and helping them work on realistic goals with maintainable objectives that are meaningful in making their individual worlds a safer place to be in. I have adopted an eclectic approach to counseling by using key components of evidence based modalities.I like to help clients feel comfortable discussing their problem by normalizing it in order to develop goals relevant to the person’s motivation and expectations. My ultimate desire as a counseling professional is to assist my clients in accessing the strength and power within themselves to change their thoughts, behaviors and look toward a better future.
