About

"I find the greatest joy in genuinely connecting with everyone that walks into my office. My favorite part of my job is making people feel strong, confident, and worthy."

At Sorensen Counseling Services, I use a variety of therapeutic techniques specific to each individual’s needs to best help clients obtain their goals, with a preference for cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and bibliotherapy.

I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

My expertise lies in helping individuals:

Develop unique coping skills to better manage anxiety and/or depression
Help individuals advance their executive functioning skills
Enhance parenting skills
Foster healthier partner/spouse relationships
Navigate challenging life transitions, such as breakups, separations, divorce, and legal matters
Boost self-esteem

I am a dedicated LGBTQIA+ affirming provider, committed to supporting the unique needs of all individuals.
