My primary areas of providing counseling include relationship issues, academics, familial issues, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, and depression. I have prior experience working in the substance abuse counseling field. My other experience includes providing wellness programming, primarily presentations and organizing behavioral health, prevention, and holistic wellness events. I have supervised master’s level practicum and internship students in clinical mental health and school counseling. My experiences include presenting for various programs, including the ΠΗΜ½ΒιΆΉ Higher Education Coalition Summit, Student National Medical Association, and SAMHSA BRSS TACS Recovery Live! Webinar.
I view counseling from a growth-oriented lens for clients to gain insight regarding self, feel a sense of affirmation, and recognize their therapeutic progress through a facilitative counseling process with counselor.
