Theoretical Approach & Philosophies of Counseling:
I am committed to providing you a safe space where you can feel comfortable, heard, and empowered. I believe you are the expert within your own life and I am here to help you sort through your issues, identify and challenge self-defeating thoughts, and develop knowledge and/or skills that can assist in coping with life’s difficulties. I have experience providing individual counseling services for adults across the lifespan in community mental health settings and have much experience providing both group and individual counseling for both those with mental health and/or substance use disorders.

About Me:
I value rest, relax, and joy, therefore, I like to travel plenty and spend time outdoors and in nature! I enjoy new experiences, kayaking, hiking, playing video games, going to concerts, and spending time with my dog while I am not working.
