I am an LPC Associate. I am supervised by Tammie Shelton LPC-S (tshelton2014@gmail.com) My theoretical approach is Cognitive Behavioral and Solution-Focused Therapy. I strive to empower the client to play an active role in their therapy. It is important to me to create a safe, nonjudgemental, and empathetic environment and relationship with each client so that the therapy can be the most impactful. My goal is to help every client reach their full potential through healing, growth, and goal completion.

I am an LPC-Associate whose theoretical orientation focuses on counseling interventions that include Person Centered, Solution Focused and Cognitive Behavior Therapy I work from a collaborative, strength-based, client-centered approach, assisting and supporting clients to be the author of their own lives. I have a genuine love for people, so I work with a large client base: families, couples, adults, adolescents, and children, providing support and counseling to help effectively address personal life challenges.

Deciding to get help is a big step toward getting unstuck, setting down burdens, fixing what’s fixable in our lives. It requires hard work, and I’m hopeful your next steps will lead to a great counselor match. Here’s some info to help decide if you would like an appointment with me. I’ve worked in community mental health in several roles: mobile crisis resolution, managed two high acuity assertive community treatment teams, as well as determined medical necessity for services (severity of need) on the utilization management side for two counties. I’ve worked in private practice, as well as church-based spiritual counseling. I have worked with AIDS/HIV facility residents, youth coping with substance use/addictions, and multiple hospital in-patient environments.

I have a passion for helping others through the power of the therapeutic relationship. My beliefs in the counseling process are strongly rooted in the person-centered approach to build relationships with clients that encourage them to recognize ways to foster healthy relationships outside the counseling room. However, I also believe in the power of learning through different methods which leads me to bring in a variety of activities and techniques to help the growth and development process that meets each client’s needs.

I have over a decade of clinical experience in counseling individuals of all ages, but have concentrated experience and expertise in counseling children and their parents.

Check with our staff to see if I am accepting new clients, and if I sound like a good fit for you.

Life is full of challenges and even hurts. We are bombarded with expectations, comparison, loss as well as lack of true connection. We need connection for healing to happen. It is through a non-judgmental and nurturing environment that we feel truly seen and heard. This is when hope can foster change. By creating a safe space where a client feels supported and comfortable, progress can begin. I consider it an honor when a client is open and vulnerable enough to share their story.
