As a child, I always wanted to pursue a career where I could assist with an individual’s growth, creativity and happiness. I learned at a young age the struggles that life can bring, not only through the inevitable, but also through situational traumas that we at times have to face and endure. Being an active member in the clinical field of helping professionals, I have certainly learned the importance of patience, empathy and peace. Identifying and securing ones’ purpose in life, creates the true masterpiece of one’s story. My goal is to assist you in your journey to self-actualization.
In our initial session, we will begin with brief introductions and then dive into the information gathering process. I will ask a host of questions to help gain understanding, background and insight. We will the discuss a potential plan moving forward as well as scheduling as many sessions as we can (typically a month in advance) to ensure preferred dates and times.
I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, childhood -present traumas and recent life adjustments : loss-grief, relationships, marriage, divorce, parenting and stressors within employment, school environments, etc.
I love working with young adults who are very intentional on what they want to feel, experience and become in life. It is okay not to know what all that may be in the beginning. My goal for this population is for my clients to learn exactly who they are, what they want to represent and what tools to utilize when needed to ensure a healthy and happy life.
