What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, you can expect to be fully accepted and praised for deciding to work on finding your why and becoming the best version of yourself. We will explore what it looks like to challenge yourself and step outside of your comfort zone and say good bye to a past version of yourself as you navigate a pathway towards your true authentic self.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I specialize in working with adults in crisis, dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and adjustment concerns to include career transitions, divorce, life phases, and relationships. I also have an extensive history working with individuals who have complex trauma history to include, PTSD, childhood abuse/neglect, sexual abuse, interpersonal violence, suicidal ideations, and grief/loss/rejection.
