I bring 25 years professional work experience and training in the mental health field. The collective hours of listening, connecting and being with people as they go through difficult things and come out the other side better because of it is what I bring to you. I also hold a personal connection with you because of my own healing journey with trauma. I set out every day to be my best and show up for you. That’s my commitment to you.

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

I like to think of a first session like building a house together and making sure we have a very solid foundation. I am interested in making sure I understand what you're hoping to get out of counseling, what your areas of concern are, along with an overview of your history. Certain themes will typically arise, and it's a great opportunity for us to begin building a rapport. It's a session to build a roadmap of where we are going.

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

I have 25 years of experience in the mental health field. I feel confident in holding a space for you to have the journey you need to have. I listen, I respect you, and I have tools that very often can help you. If I feel that I can't serve you in the ways you need, I will let you know and give you the appropriate referrals. My goal is that you are getting what you need.

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

I work with people who are in a life transition or wanting to become "unstuck" with something and don't know how to get there. I help you with tools that you can use well beyond the counseling session.
