I approach clients with the an open mindset, looking to explore what the client needs and what they want for themselves. I always want my clients to know there is no judgement from me in their decisions, EVER. I view everyone's mistakes as us just being human and having a human experience. This practice of examining our human journey and what motivates us to do the things we do is extended to myself, my clients and my children/family. I often attempt to have the practice of asking myself "why did I do that? Did I do that because of this or because I was feeling blank?" I think it is important to help others get to the place where they ask themselves the same type of questions. We're all here just having human experiences!

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

Our first session together will be a little different from all the others. I will review confidentiality as well as office policies and norms. Then we will discuss family history, your current goals and what brought you to counseling.

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

I feel my greatest strength is working with women's issues, including pregnancy, post-partum, motherhood and learning to gain work-life balance. Though I don't work with couples as often anymore, a strength as a provider is helping clients develop their communication skills and conflict resolution which improves family dynamics including marriage conflict and parent-child conflict.

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

Most clients are a great fit for my practice. You will be able to work on your anxiety and depression and develop coping strategies along with stronger communication skills and conflict resolution.
