Counsellinks, LLC

I am here to support your drive to thrive! My approach, as a licensed clinical mental health counselor, supervisor, and certified life coach, is grounded in empathy, and direct communication. With over 30 years of experience in this field, I am truly passionate about the work I do and the people I serve. As a licensed mental health counselor and substance use professional, I have extensive experience supporting adults as they navigate a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, DOT-SAP consulting, life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, grief, trauma, and more. I use an integrative therapeutic approach to customize treatment and combine elements from therapies such as cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic and humanistic approaches to create a personalized plan for care and support based on the client’s individual goals and needs. My commitment as a licensed clinical supervisor is to uphold the highest ethical principles while deepening knowledge and understanding of legal and ethical standards and issues for licensed professionals. I strive to demonstrate proficiency in best practices related to mental health and to exhibit skills in a variety of therapeutic models and techniques. As a clinical supervisor, I aim to cultivate a cooperative and supportive relationship that encourages optimal growth and advancement. I strive to foster an environment that values and encourages innovation and creativity. My focus includes cultivating skills in leadership, mentorship, advocacy, and coaching. I provide guidance to improve effective communication, empower and inspire others, influence colleagues, set performance targets, and acknowledge accomplishments as needed. I also promote a deeper understanding and refinement of individual practice goals and objectives, supporting emotional readiness to manage difficult topics and providing constructive feedback when appropriate. Finally, in my role as a certified life coach, I act as your partner and guide, efficiently assisting individuals reach their goals through evidence-based coaching techniques. These approaches are designed to build executive functioning, emotional regulation, and daily life skills that boost confidence, focus, and resilience. Life coaching is particularly well-suited for individuals experiencing mild to moderate life challenges that may not necessitate therapy but still impact well-being and productivity. Areas of support include stress or burnout, parenting stress, feeling stuck or finding direction/purpose, difficult decisions, life’s transitions, grief and loss, navigating challenging emotions such as sadness, worry, anger, relationship challenges, identity-based stress (including discrimination) and work-life balance just to name a few. I am a dedicated professional who finds joy in nurturing positive changes for those seeking compassionate support. I am truly grateful to be doing what I love for a living, and I hope you feel encouraged to contact me whenever I can be of support and assistance.
