It is with much admiration and respect that I engage with clients in the journey to wellness. As a therapist, I have always believed in the strength of the individual to heal. I have a depth of knowledge and years of experience knowing how mental health concerns impact individuals. It is part of who you are, but it doesn't need to define you. It can be difficult to seek help when things seem overwhelming and that is why I have always tried to create a warm, compassionate and safe environment. I am accepting of wherever you may be in your journey of self-discovery and growth. I have been a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor since 1998. Prior to working in private practice, much of my career has been working with teens in the foster care system. I have been able to support individuals who have struggled with trauma (including sexual trauma), self-worth and identify questions, grief, relationship issues and general adjustment to life's difficulties.
In our first session we will both ask questions and outline expectations for one another. I will gather historical information, current situation and make initial plans for treatment success.
I love to listen to truly hear your story and share your worries and pain. Working through issues and finding solutions brings me great joy. I have clients with a wide range of issues, ages, and sexual identities. I have a number of therapists as clients. My clients tell me they appreciate my insight, integrity and genuineness.
We will work together to identify thinking errors which get in your way of living your best life.
