I graduated with my M.Ed. in Counseling from the University of Montevallo in 2014 and joined Pesek Counseling Services in 2017. I am passionate about supporting a sense of hope and confidence in my clients, who range from older teens to adults. My main treatment areas include depression, anxiety disorders, trauma recovery, EMDR, mood instability, life transitions, self-validation needs, healthy relationship skills, and stress management. I am an EMDR Certified Therapistâ„¢, and for traditional talk therapy sessions, I utilize a collaborative approach that integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy techniques. My aim is to meet clients where they are and journey with them in learning new skills, building overall mental health, and strengthening resilience and empowerment. Outside of work, my favorite activities include reading, spending time with family and friends, and loving on my two sweet beagles.
