About My Clients

If you are on this page, you have already taken the most difficult step in mental health therapy, the step to say, "hey I need some assistance." And because I believe that every individual has the right to pursue a full, happy, and peaceful life I am ready to assist you. Life can be hard and you can feel lonely trying to figure it out. Well you aren't alone and if you're ready to partner with a prepared, compassionate therapist, I am ready to partner with you. I look forward to meeting you.

My Background and Approach

With over 15 years of working in the social service field, I have had the honor of working with a diverse group of individuals from all walks of life. This experience has taught me that we all have strengths that we can build upon to achieve our goals. This is why I use a Strength-based therapy approach as a foundation and then we add the necessary additional approaches to give you the best, individualized plan to reach your desired outcome. These evidenced based approaches can be a combination of talk therapy, teaching, coping skills, modeling and behavior modification just to name a few. We work as a team and will revisit the plan to make sure your needs are being met, progress is being made, and changes are implemented if needed.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that mental health is health. When we are doing well mentally, it impacts our spiritual health, physical health, financial health, and emotional health. I believe that any person that wants to change can change, and anyone who continues to work on improving their mental health can maintain the positive changes they have made. I believe when God connects us with the right person it can put us on the path of healing, not dismissing our past hurts, but learning how to cope in healthy and positive ways.
