I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience. I'll mention more of my background shortly, but I know the questions that are likely at the front of your mind are: "Will therapy actually help? and "What will it feel like to talk to this person?" Therapy can help by working through difficult emotions, feeling heard and understood, learning to forgive and love ourselves, identifying and overcoming barriers, clarifying and aligning with our personal values, and learning coping skills to empower us to face the challenges that we face as humans. I'm committed to understanding what is and isn't helpful for you and I will strive to customize my approach to meet your specific needs. You'll be met with warmth, open ears, non-judgment, and with resources to start working towards your goals. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, low self-worth, shame, religious trauma/baggage, difficulty expressing emotions, and relationship issues. My approach combines CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectic behavioral therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), solution-focused, strengths-based, and trauma-focused therapy. My counseling style is warm, accepting, supportive, and focused on helping you work towards meaningful change.
