Do you want support and encouragement to make needed life changes? Do you want help with gaining a better understanding of what you're going through? Do you need help with getting out of your head? Have you been feeling low or down, not wanting to be around people? Are you having issues in your relationship (partner, friend, parent, etc.)? Is getting older causing stress for you or others? If this is you, you are not alone. As a licensed therapist with over 15 years of counseling and psychotherapy, I have helped clients make changes, improve their moods, gain clarity and see results within 6-8 sessions. The sooner you start, the sooner you will see results! My foundation is psychology and social work and I combine my education, work and life experiences to provide you with a holistic therapeutic experience. My style is caring, direct, and supportive with a sprinkle of laughter, accountability and homework. During our time together, we work together as a team to explore your concerns, make a plan and explore solutions. I continue to learn, research techniques and experience life to add variety to tailor treatment to your unique therapeutic experience. ***Don't wait, book your session today with me and experience the difference for yourself.*** *Individual Sessions* - Video, Audio/Phone Sessions Available **SESSION PACKAGES ARE AVAILABLE* - Schedule the 15-minute consultation to learn more about the options available.

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

Our first session: Since you are the expert in your life, this is the time where I learn a bit more about how you have been experiencing life and how you have been showing up in life. During this session, we also begin to develop our therapeutic team. We also determine the duration and frequency of sessions. Self-pay clients: If you are paying out of pocket, this allows keeping your notes completely private and the ability to maintain a greater level of confidentiality with your medical records.

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

My specialties are: Anxiety Self-Esteem Relationships Gerontology/Aging Process of Getting Older and What Comes With It (Ages 25 and up)
