Provisional Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (PLMHP)

Master of Social Work from Capella University

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Trauma-Informed Care.

I have experience working in a variety of clinical settings including IOP (Intensive outpatient) and Outpatient services. I have worked with Adults, Teens, groups, those struggling with addiction, and severe and persistent mental illnesses.

Counseling is about providing a safe space and developing a collaborative relationship to facilitate growth and change. I strongly believe in the human capacity to heal by unconditional compassion and rediscovering of strengths. I favor a person-centered approach to include warmth and non-judgmental acceptance; I believe it is important to meet people wherever they are on their journey.
