I am very person-centered in my therapeutic approach. My goal is to meet each client where they are in their life journey and to utilize my education, knowledge and experience to assist each client with reaching their desired goals. I have a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling, as well as a master’s degree in addiction counseling, and have worked with clients with dual diagnoses. I spent 15 years working with adolescents in a residential setting; 6 of those years being the Director of Clinical Services. I have always had a passion for working with children and adolescents.
I am nonjudgmental, empathetic and genuine with my clients. I believe that it’s imperative that we, as therapists, share our “humanness” with our clients to build trust and rapport in the therapeutic relationship.
I’ve been told by clients that I am easy to talk to and that they never feel judged. I strive to focus on what my clients want to accomplish and to help them feel empowered to achieve their goals.
