About My Clients
I have experience and comfort working with clients ranging from adolescence to retirees with a variety of concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use disorders, relational issues and life transitions. I aim to deeply understand your experience and tailor tools and treatment techniques to your specific needs. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels comfortable for you, focusing on your strengths and goals
My Background and Approach
My educational background includes a B.S. in Psychology from Louisiana State University and a M.A. in Professional Mental health Counseling with an addiction counseling specialization from Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. I sharpened my skills with the support of exceptional supervisors while working directly with clients in various community mental health agencies while serving a diverse clientele. My education and training emphasizes a holistic approach to working with clients while being considerate of aspects of social justice, multicultural competency, LGBTQ+ affirming care, harm-reduction, and trauma-informed approaches. As an eclectic counselor I blend a variety of theoretical backgrounds and evidence based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, existentialism, constructivism, mindfulness and relational approaches among others. I believe your treatment should be unique to you as an individual and work off of your own personal strengths and perspectives.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
The human experience is a truly wonderful gift that comes with incredible challenges. Sometimes the ever changing tides and currents of our lives evoke a beckoning from within for help. It is my believe that we can collaboratively build a healing space on values of authenticity, transparency, mutual respect, and empathy to center your strengths and realize a path forward that is both meaningful and aligned with your goals.
