I've wanted to be a therapist since I was 9 years old. It's been a lifelong dream that I was able to achieve. My first experience with mental health is in a community mental health facility. I learned lots about major mental illness and skills training. I believe this time developed me into a therapist that "teaches" my client how to help themselves and how to relate to people on a personal level. My passions outside of work are DIY projects in my new home, crocheting, camping and my pug. I am also a wife, mother and grandmother. I am a stepmother, bio-mother, mother of twins, mother of boys, mother of girls and have a variety of ages.

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

We will go over some procedural topics such as privacy and cancellation policies. I will ask you about your life and current symptoms. It will be a broad overview of issues that we will then discuss in later sessions. I will ask you about previous therapy experiences and the pros/cons. If we have time we can go over some coping strategies and pick goals for the week.

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

I worked in community mental health for 8 years. I have been exposed to many types of people with varying diagnoses. I'm a certified adult ADHD specialist. I am a very conversational therapist and it should be an easy comfortable session.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with people who are ready to deal with their issues. I love to delve into the past and see how it impacts your present. I love to provide education on diagnoses, symptoms and coping skills. I enjoy clients where we can use humor or even sarcasm to discuss issues.
