I work with teens, adults, and couples who may be experiencing a variety of mental health and life transition issues. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, bipolar disorder, and grief. I have additional training in integrating a client’s faith in therapy, and can provide this as requested by clients. I also have experience working with emergency responders, and facilitate critical incident stress debriefings following traumatic incidents. I consider my counseling style to be collaborative, intentional, and forward-focused. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness and DBT principles, motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to assist clients in establishing more effective patterns of thought and behavior. I also enjoy helping clients explore larger concepts of purpose and meaning as needed. I truly enjoy working with clients to establish healthier life patterns and experience positive life changes. I consider it a privilege to help clients build hope for the future.
