About me
Hello! I am excited that you are viewing my profile! I like to show up for my clients transparent, and authentic. I see myself as a professional with a spicy, zany, twist. What does that mean to you as a client? It means I will use a combination of training, education, and life experience to relate to you in a "real world" way! Counseling is NOT a one-size-fits-all science project. Real people with real life challenges need real solutions. As your partner in your therapeutic care, my job is to listen without judgment., and we discover the best solution for your life. I like to think of life challenges as Brushstrokes, and you are a canvas...each Brushstroke can re reframed to help you become a LIVING MASTERPIECE
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session, I will begin the process of getting to know you, and what is most important for your therapeutic care. I will explain more of who I am as a clinician, and I will answer your questions, address your concerns, and make sure I am the best fit for your therapeutic care. Of course, I have to complete the necessary documents, but my goal is to make sure you leave the session with increased hope, and clarity.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My approach to therapy is eclectic. I use a combination of interventions to provide the most appropriate care for my clients. I treat every session as if, it is my last session, and I want to make sure my clients are empowered with new skills to reframe their Brushstrokes. Life has provided me with many Brustrokes, I use them all, none are wasted!
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I best serve clients that are ready to make changes in their life. My clients understand that being "Stuck" is no longer an option. Whether it is low self-esteem, low confidence issues, or childhood trauma, my clients have become uncomfortable in their same old patterns. I work best with individuals, couples, and groups. I serve veterans, trauma clients, and clients with anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
