Hello! Thanks for taking out the time to read my profile and to see if we would be a good fit to work together. I have a Masters of Education in counseling from the college of William and Mary in Virginia, and have specialized in working with youth and their families over the past 10 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, personality disorders, family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, parenting issues, social behaviors, and crisis counseling. A lot of my counseling work has been with families who have fostered children and with individuals who have significant history of trauma.

I am experienced in many counseling techniques and use a combination to support my clients. I have done numerous courses post graduation to increase my knowledge and skills in various counseling techniques and topics most relevant to my client’s needs. I'm client-centered, in that I believe that my clients are the experts on …themselves and so I will encourage them to set the pace of sessions, determine their goals, and amend things as needed. In our first few sessions we will establish a trusting, ethical, therapeutic relationship by form of congruence, unconditional positive regard, and empathy. My counseling style and approach really depends on the client and what best fits the situation.

I provide a relaxed atmosphere, safe space, and utilize a non judgmental approach. Utilizing evidence-based practices, I strive to support, encourage, educate, and empower my clients. Together we'll work side by side to help strengthen awareness, communication, increase personal growth and healing within yourself and your relationships. We will also identify strengths, patterns, coping skills, and increase confidence. I hope to help support and empower you on your journey towards your goals. Whether you are seeking change for a healthier happier life, or just need an ear to listen, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
