Fun facts: I like to push myself and try new things. I enjoy being outside and traveling. When I'm not outside, you can usually find me reading or listening to a podcast. I love all types of sweets (especially chocolate) and spending time with my dogs.
My passion is helping people creating healthy habits to build a life they love. I am fascinated with exploring the connection between one’s thoughts, emotions and behaviors that are strengthened throughout their life experiences. Through the use of therapy, one can change their unproductive habits to helpful habits.
During therapy, I use a variety of evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). I tailor my approach to meet you right where you are.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and am nationally certified. I also have certifications as a trauma provider and an addictions informed provider. I obtained my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wilmington University. I have experience working in community mental health, the medical field and in outpatient substance use treatment.
You are the expert of your life, body and mind. My role is not to give you advice or tell you what to do. My goal is to be a support and help you create the life you want to life. This is possible by listening to understand, offering alternative perspectives, helping you learn tools to regulate emotions, and assisting in processing difficult situations or emotions. The space I create is one of trust, compassion, empathy, and free of judgment. My focus is on the therapeutic alliance, and creating a relationship of trust, safety and connection.
