I am a fully licensed mental health counselor who has been practicing for 12 years. I enjoy helping people reach their full potential and lead happy, healthy lives. I have experience supporting a wide range of individuals and couples while specializing in depression, anxiety, alcoholism/addiction, and trauma-related work. I work with clients, ages 14 and up, and I love my profession. I feel privileged to support so many who work so hard to improve their lives and their mental health. I would truly appreciate the opportunity to serve you and or your family.
