I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience who is committed to helping children, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families learn how to cope with mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief/loss, adjustment, self-esteem, sexuality, relationship issues, divorce, self-injury, suicidal ideation, suicide loss, medication management, and co-parenting. My theoretical framework is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, believing our thought patterns directly affect our behavior and working to change unproductive thought patterns to achieve emotional wellbeing. Another common part of my practice is utilizing mindfulness techniques to gain awareness and balance. However, I utilize aspects of multiple theoretical orientations based on the needs of the client. Neuroptimal Neurofeedback is an exciting and unique addition to my practice. This science based technology utilizes feedback information to train the central nervous system to self regulate more efficiently. It is a non invasive method to address symptoms related to trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Spectrum Disorders as well as helping athletes reach peak level performance. The session is completed in 45 minutes and you are left feeling calm and refreshed.

When I am not working with clients; I am enjoying the great outdoors with my husband, our two children, and three fur babies. I hope I answered some of your questions and please do not hesitate to send me a message to answer any others you might have. I look forward to meeting you soon!
