I believe there is a space for everyone in therapy. No matter what
challenge you are facing, you have a place in counseling. I am a
supporter of awareness, acceptance, and different perceptions. There is
much power in those tools and understanding them. Bring who you are to
therapy, and I will help in every way possible to get you to a place of
healing, self-love, and the discovery of the power of mental health.
There is something to be said about struggle and what it does to a
person, what it makes a person. With the correct tools, struggle does
not have to define you. It is absolutely possible to break free of those
chains that bind us to difficulties and the trauma that happens in
life.
I have a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education and have worked with
children for many years as a teacher and an intern therapist. I have my
Master’s in Clinical Mental Health and during my internship, worked with
a vast array of clientele with many different struggles and modalities.
I am passionate about working with trauma, bullying issues with
children, sexual issues in relationships, the LGBTQ+ community, faith
crisis/transitions, and self-esteem/confidence issues using mirror work
as a tool. My favorite modality is Acceptance and Commitment therapy.
I love sports, especially baseball. I have a 1965 Ford Mustang that I love to take out for drives. I love to camp and fish and if I could do it for a living, I
would! I love to bake. I usually make baked goods, take a bite, and
then give it all away because I cannot eat all that sugar! I always have
music playing and love to dance, which I feel can be very healing.
Exercise is so good for my mind and many times during sessions with
clients, going for a walk while talking can be good for the soul. A
sense of humor never hurt either! Lastly, I honor the courage it takes
to seek out assistance and I am privileged to be a part of your journey
in any way I can help.
