My Services and Scope of Practice
I work with individuals and couples. I utilize many theories such as CBT, DBT, Reality, Holistic, Solution-Focused, multi-cultural approaches and integrative therapies including group therapies to create a Person-Centered approach that will work individually with your needs. I believe that no two people are exactly the same and ALL deserve individualized approaches. The counseling relationship is an important relationship and you need to feel comfortable, accepted and heard....
I have 12+ years in the mental health field, including domestic violence, trauma and transitions. I believe in privacy, advocacy and offer a space that is non-judgmental and safe. I believe that healthy adjustments, finding your identity and self-exploration are essential to human happiness and satisfaction. I am committed to helping people find their place, identity, and happiness to live a fulfilled life.
I have listed some of my services, but please call for a consultation for further information and to discuss your needs.
Depression & Anxiety
Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life, while helping you build strategies to minimize those unpleasant moments.
Trauma & PTSD
Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.
Adjustment Therapy
Life changes and adjusting to this can be difficult. Adjustment disorders are common and often left un-treated. But you do not have to do this alone. I will work with you on developing coping skills as well as developing personalized and realistic short and long term goals that will help you succeed in moving through this part of your life.
LGBTQI+
Adjustment for both the individual and the families can be difficult to navigate. There are so many emotions associated within this beautiful transition and it can be overwhelming. I offer a safe place for individuals, parents and families to talk and work through this adjustment to build a happier, stronger future filled with acceptance and love.
Substance Abuse
Substance abuse and co-occurring mental health issues will many times go hand in hand. I treat the whole person, the whole mind and help you discover a better quality of life that is more fulfilling and rewarding. This is a place of non-judgment and each person is treated individually with value and respect.
