I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate supervised by Heidi Johanson, LPC-S. I am passionate about working with adults who are seeking help for trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, LGBTQIA affirming care, mood disorders, and trauma informed parenting. I also work with veterans who are struggling to transition back to civilian life. I served in the U.S. Navy as a Hospital Corpsman and trained as a behavioral health technician which was an invaluable experience that solidified my journey to working in mental health. I enjoy fostering a healing environment for my clients and watching them grow into finding self-discovery.While I primarily use a person-centered approach, I also utilize other modalities, such as DBT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing! I am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) which is highly effective in treating conditions such as anxiety, phobias, and OCD. I am also passionate about parent training and helping families improve functionality.I hope to foster an environment that allows each client to feel safe being their authentic self. I enjoy empowering clients to find inner peace and solutions to their current struggles.
