Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In your first session together, you'll start with brief introductions, and then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Being so experienced in human services and particularly in the behavioral health field, she's developed the skill of forming relationships through being my authentic self which in turn invites others to be theirs. Besides being approachable, she is strategic once getting to know you in individualizing a plan to help identify the root cause(s) of your challenges and (b) scout a path toward your preferred outcomes with measurable progress.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

She loves working with women who are eager to improve their life circumstances but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about the way forward.
