I have been a licensed professional counselor for 15 years and focus on clients struggling with anxiety and depression or serious mental illnesses. Many of my clients struggle with work/life balance or transitioning into a new career or relationship status. In my practice, I feel like self-care is selfless. It is essential for most of us, but specifically for those of us who are caregivers or heads of family. I focus on helping my clients appreciate themselves for the warriors they are!
In your first session with me, I will gather as much information as possible, but in story form, not interview form. Together in session 1 and 2, we will develop tangible goals as well as emotional goals and set a course of action that works best for you.
I can see the strength and genius in every one of my clients. I am a positive and upbeat person and will always tell you the truth. My goal is to help my clients see their potential in all areas of improvement.
