About My Clients

My experience working in various levels of care and with different populations has provided me with skills to provide support to clients with anger issues, experiencing challenges with depression, life transitions, trauma, stress, self-esteem, and relationship issues. I am especially driven to help young adults and women.

My Background and Approach

I believe you are the expert of your own unique experience. I enjoy empowering clients by facilitating awareness, developing a plan for change to establish new patterns of behavior to move forward toward living their best life. My approach to healing is holistic. I utilize many techniques including, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and strength perspective. My compassionate and empathetic nature is revealed through genuine, non-judgmental, and collaborative spaces where possibilities can be explored, My approach has been fueled by focusing on “what happened to you”, instead of “what’s wrong with you.” I enjoy empowering clients by facilitating awareness and developing a plan for change to establish new patterns of behavior to move forward toward living their best life.
