Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC)
Reaching out for help takes courage and strength. I offer safety through acceptance, understanding, and multicultural sensitivity in my practice.
Are you feeling stressed? Are you tired of feeling anxious, sad, and overwhelmed with life? Have you lost your focus? Do you feel as if things will never get better? Whatever you are struggling with, I am here to provide a warm, non-judgmental, and genuine environment to help you begin your journey to feeling better. I look forward to helping you define your strengths, so we can use those as a roadmap to overcome your struggles. My therapy approach is relational, strengths- based, and collaborative. I believe therapy is a safe place to grow, learn, and achieve shared goals using a diverse mix of modalities to meet your unique needs. I will help you build awareness and insight to take the steps and use the tools to get your life back on track. I use a diverse mix of treatment modalities including Client-Centered Therapy, CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. I work with teens and adults dealing with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Life adjustments, and phobias. Reaching out for help takes courage and strength. You are not alone in this. I am here to help you feel better. I look forward to working together with you.
