About My Clients

Do you want more meaning and joy in your life? We all have mental health challenges at times. If you are motivated to feel better, I can help. I work with people of diverse backgrounds - ethnicity, race, LGBTQIA+, disability, neurodiversity, and adults of every age. I am engaging and down to earth. We can work together to find strategies that work for you, to manage emotions and find balance in your life.

My Background and Approach

I have worked with so many people over the years! I've learned from every person I've worked with and can share a variety of tools to manage loss, pain, anxiety and depression. There are strategies that take only 30 seconds! There are so many ways to manage your emotions and live a life full of joy and meaning. I bring compassion, humor, and concrete strategies into sessions. I have a strengths based approach - we all have many strengths! Let's work together to find balance in your life and move toward the person you want to be!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I treat people with great dignity and respect, always. I believe that we all need to listen more and talk less at times. I think every person deserves joy and meaning in their lives and it is possible to achieve that! I believe that all people are created equal but hat people are human and make mistakes along the way. it is never too late to heal and its never too late to make amends if that is important to you. I think forgiveness can be healing but it takes time and effort to get there sometimes. I have seen time and time again that people can heal from trauma and negative life experiences with the support and acceptance. I am part of the LGBTQIA+ community and honor people's diversity. If you would like to try counseling with an open, kind, and fun person, reach out and we can work together to build quality of life and bringing joy into every day!
