I enjoy working with people who may be struggling in their current job and are ready to make a transition. I also help with work conflict situations and support my patients if they want figure out if they want to go back to college, go to college for the first time, start their own businesses, or go into a trade or apprenticeship. I believe that anyone can accomplish anything if they have the proper tools and mindset to do so.

I enjoy working with women who struggle with communication problems in relationships and marriage and family related issues. I also enjoy helping women learn what their values are, and work toward creating a more ideal balance for themselves in their lives where they don't feel so overwhelmed with all the responsibilities we can take on in life.

I have helped many people learn how to manage anxious distress through utilizing effective coping skills and techniques to reduce feelings of anxious distress as well as managing thoughts. We are bigger than our thoughts, and its easy for any of us to get stuck with thinking we have to pay attention to every thought and brain activity that pops up through the day. I teach how to manage those thoughts and create more internal peacefulness while feeling empowered and in control.

I've practiced for many years with a mindfulness perspective, and enjoy utilizing techniques like guided meditation, yoga, earthing/grounding, walking therapy, Heart-Math practices.

If you can change the way you think, you can change the way you feel. I have utilized CBT in my practice, and it is the foundation that I work from with an emphasis on Behavior. Problem behaviors can be identified and changed.

I use an eclectic mixture of approaches as each patient is unique and I am Certified as an Integrated Health Professional, which means I do provide psycho education on nutritional/herbal/supplement recommendations for patients and focus on overall health and wellness.
