I’m experienced working with substance abuse clients, as well as anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, and other mental health concerns. Along with my Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I have nearly 100 hours of continuing education by Dr. Snipes and Clearly Clinical. In addition to my clinical experience, I also have personal experience in overcoming concerns with trauma and mental health. I believe counseling can help a person change their life and improve their ability to cope with difficult experiences. I provide clients with a safe and empathetic environment where they are encouraged to be themselves. I welcome clients to “come as they are”. A session with me is a warm and accepting space for someone to explore their thoughts, beliefs, past experiences, goals for the future, or anything else they are comfortable sharing. I am open-minded and accepting of individuals from all backgrounds and lifestyles. I am a counselor who is consistent, attentive, validating, encouraging, and supportive. I genuinely care about my clients and their well-being. I am dedicated to helping people achieve balance in their lives and learn to navigate through their problems. I believe in building treatment plans that people feel motivated to follow. I also welcome helpful feedback about what people feel is working or not working for them.
