About me

Greetings and welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of licensed experience and 18 years of experience in the mental health profession. My educational background focused on majoring in Psychology as undergraduate and Community Counseling as a graduate student. My experience background ranges from in-patient and outpatient treatment, acute care facilities, working in the K-12 grade school setting, and adult counseling in different mental health programs.

I have a strong passion for mental health and mental health awareness. I truly believe that we all need to take care of our mental well-being just as well as we need to take care of our physical. My approach to therapy is a genuine one. Empathy, understanding, concern, helping others, aren't just words to me, I try to live those words every day of my life, because I truly believe in them. I like to believe that tactful honesty, positivity, and at times humor, are very important as navigational tools in the art of therapy. And with those tools, I try to help guide my clients in a direction that will help them achieve their personal goals of self-healing and growth.

As human beings we have a strong desire to be heard and understood, but in a lot of cases weren't so good at listening and understanding. Learning to properly communicate with the person we love sounds so simply but can be extremely difficult. It's important to learn how to express yourself while also being receptive to what the person you love is expressing to you. When two people choose to work towards that healthy balance of communication, listening, and understanding, it's a great step in the right direction of finding the peace and happiness desired in their relationship.
