Theoretical Approach & Philosophies of Counseling:

I believe counseling offers you an opportunity to explore and express yourself in ways you have been unable to in your daily life. Using a creative blend of cognitive-behavioral and rational emotive approaches, I strive to create a comforting, positive experience to help you grow. Together, I hope to help you chart a practical path towards success in achieving your mental health goals. I have extensive experience in providing individual counseling to adolescents and adults using a variety of psychotherapy techniques. I am in the process of working towards completing my basic training in EMDR.

About Me:

When I am away from work, you may see me frequenting a local diner or coffee shop with a good book. I value spending time outdoors and am always looking for a new adventure to partake in, such as traveling the national parks. In my spare time I also enjoy watching professional hockey (Go Pens!), reading, writing, and listening to music. I listen to a lot of punk rock and heavy metal, but people tell me I don’t look like I do. Whatever that means!
