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

In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Whether you're dealing with strong emotions, feeling overwhelmed, struggles with relationship issues, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow.

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

My strengths are working with individuals on a variety of situations, issues, and backgrounds. I have helped children, adolescent/youth, and adults of all ages who are having difficulties with issues such as depression, stress/anxiety, self-esteem/self-confidence, relationship and parenting problems, and career challenges. Many individuals just have trouble coping with life changes. I have worked in schools, mental health agencies, and in private practice.
