Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor (PLPC)

  • Are you experiencing stress within your personal relationships, work, home, or school?
  • Are you experiencing pain or distress from past trauma?
  • Does low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, or trauma keep you spinning on a seemingly endless cycle?
  • Are you on a path of self-discovery; seeking to identify your goals, beliefs, values…a journey to become your most authentic self?

If these concerns sound like you, I might be a good fit for you!

I enjoy working with both individuals and couples, and can assist you in your journey to new beginnings.  I primarily focus my work on helping clients navigate and work through depression, anxiety, trauma, intrapersonal and interpersonal issues.

I operate from a holistic and integrative approach; valuing each individual, their strengths and honoring their experiences. I believe you have innate behaviors and skills that you can draw upon to overcome challenges and move toward becoming a better you. Through the use of interpersonal psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other integrative techniques I can help you work through your concerns, better understand what is going on around and within you, and actively assist you on your journey of healing, growth, and discovery.

Individuals

We can work to help you better understand and express emotions, identify triggers and sources of conflict, and develop healthy coping skills for anxiety, depression or stress. Many individuals find that therapy can offer them a safe place to improve communication skills, improve self-esteem, clarify values or beliefs and even improve their relationship.

Couples

Couples counseling can help you and your partner Identify sources of conflict, strengthen communication skills, clarify values and beliefs, understand and express emotions in healthy ways, and improve intimacy, as well as improve your ability to manage stress, conflict, and day-to-day challenges as a couple.
