Mental Health Counselor

My ideal client struggles from a variety of disorders ranging from depression, anxiety (to include various phobias), adjustment disorders, autism spectrum disorders and psychotic disorders. My ideal client will be forthcoming with their symptoms in a judgement free zone, where they can work on skills that will decrease symptomology and create a happier and healthier life.

I utilize evidence based practices such as CBT and DBT to teach and practice skills that aide in symptom reduction. I utilize rapport and empathy to help clients talk through their problems and create a possibility of solutions. I enjoy helping clients view various ways in which they can approach dealing with their disorder and normalize mental health treatment.

Over the past 5 years, I have specialized in mental health care within forensic settings, to include prisons, jails and behavioral schools. I enjoy working with clients who need help adjusting to new settings as well as those who may need additional guidance with decision making skills. I strive to help the client maximize their potential regardless of their current situation. I am a strong believer that everyone can overcome obstacles with the right support.
