Our Team

Over the last ten years, I have had the opportunity to work in various social work settings, including residential treatment centers, wraparound case management, and public schools. These roles have strengthened my ability to empower others to set and meet meaningful goals for themselves. I value meeting individuals where they are in order to support them in the unique challenges they face while providing a safe and comfortable environment that fosters connection and growth.

Throughout my career, I have been given the opportunity to encounter a wide range of issues and have developed extensive experience with self-esteem, anxiety, depression, life transitions, family conflict, and dual diagnosis. I have spent the past five years involved with various community and clinical settings, working with individuals that present unique experiences and therefore have unique needs.

Throughout my professional experience in mental health I have worked in outpatient, in-home, community-based, and inpatient settings. I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults experiencing low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues, life transitions, trauma, substance use, as well as other concerns.

I believe a counselor is more than just the skills we learn. It is someone who has compassion and genuine empathy. During my ten years as a school counselor, I was privileged to work with youth and families of all school ages from many different backgrounds and with a variety of social, emotional, academic, and occupational issues. Genuineness, empathy, and unconditional positive regard are at the heart of my person-centered and strength-based approach. In addition, I use an eclectic and integrative approach utilizing evidence-based techniques, as well as common factors models.

Over the past 15 years of skills training with physically and mentally challenged individuals I have experienced the best of humanity. I specialize with parenting and child behavioral issues, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders.

I enjoy and have experience working with Addiction – Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse (AODA), Anxiety, Behavioral Issues, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Chronic Pain, Depression, Divorce, Domestic Abuse and Violence, Dual Diagnosis, Eating Disorders, Family Conflict, Marital and Premarital Issues, Mood Disorders, Obesity – Bariatric Surgery, Oppositional Defiance, Parenting Issues, Pregnancy/Prenatal/Postpartum, Relationship Issues, Self-Esteem, Self-Harming, Sexual Issues (Abuse, Addiction, Desire, Identity), Suicidal Ideation, and Women’s Issues.
