Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I use a person-centered approach. This approach allows the client process needs and not feel judged. I also listen and validate the client throughout the whole process. With a background in education and mental health I explain and educate the client so they can have a great understanding of what is actually happening and how to improve their lives. I enjoy setting up an atmosphere where feel comfortable and at the same time are being challenged to take the steps necessary to experience more well-being.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work well with clients with ADHD, anxiety, relationship problems and trauma. I enjoy working with men and women of all ages.
