I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over twenty- five years of experience. I specializes in working with clients with serious and persistent mental illness, dual diagnosis, and the LGBTQIA2S+ population. I am a member of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). Additionally, I have extensive knowledge in working with clients with anxiety, depression, and personality disorders. I am passionate about helping clients heal from difficult experiences. Through psychoeducation clients are able to deepen their understanding of their mental health and develop healthy patterns and tools to manage symptoms of concern. I believe it is important for clients to move at a pace that is right for them. I value creating a non-judgmental and safe therapeutic relationship with clients. I have additional training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Moral Recognition, and Crisis Interventions. In addition, I utilize strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness based interventions.
