LMHC, 5 years of experience
Thanks for taking the time to learn more about me. I am excited about learning more about you. All my life people have told me I am easy to talk to. I really enjoy helping people process life's challenges and explore options that are available for growth. Through the years I have personally experienced a lot life's challenges, and have learned how to reach deep within myself to discover long-awaited answers. We can do this together with your life's challenges. I am easy to chat with, friendly, non-judgmental, helpful, truthful, experienced, spiritual, and very kind.
In our first session you can expect to experience non-judgmental, kind, compassionate care. I will listen intently to where you are in life, and where you may want to go. We will put together a plan of care which will reassure you that there is hope. You will leave the session with a peace, you may not have experienced before.
In therapy I use an eclectic mix of tools and techniques from various counseling therapies. We take a look at each challenge you face from a rational, emotional, and spiritual perspective. We communicate understanding, and search for solutions and options in every situation.
