Introduction

Therapy is hard, not getting therapy is harder. Taking the first step to wellness can be the most difficult and I will gladly help you navigate though life's challenges to find your path worth living. I'm a former financial planner turned licensed mental health counselor who understands what it is like to feel like "something is missing" in life. I became a counselor to help others find hope and their potential in life. I have experience working with clients who have been diagnosed with a personality disorder, anxiety/panic, depression, PTSD, adjustment disorders, and who have suicidal ideation, attempts, and/or self-harming behaviors. I have worked with civilians and veterans and while we diagnose in order to "name it to tame it," I view us all as human beings who need extra help along the path of life. I have experience teaching groups in many areas such as DBT skills training, Overcoming Low Self-Esteem, Building Self-Compassion, Behavioral Activation for Depression, Rejection Sensitivity, Finding Joy, Grief, Coping with PTSD, Shame Resiliency, Values, Posttraumatic Growth and Resiliency, Coping with Anger, and Self-Defeating Behaviors. I am trained DBT therapist and use modalities such as CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered, Reality Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I am transparent and practice what I preach. I use the skills I teach clients daily and believe being authentic is imperative to building trust. You are the expert on you, I am here to walk alongside you during your healing journey. I will be your biggest cheerleader while challenging you along the way. I look forward to helping you find your life compass and follow your path worth living.
