About My Clients

I have experience working with adults who have past trauma from relationships, childhood, military service, and so forth. Also, people who experienced sadness, anger, relationship issues, overthinking/worry, lack of assertiveness and low self-esteem. The feedback I receive most often from my clients is that I am understanding, non-judgmental, easy to talk to, and a good listener.

My Background and Approach

I have been a therapist for since 2020 and have been in the mental health field since 2006. I want to be a person that people can feel comfortable talking to without worrying about being judged, criticized, and not listened to. I opened my own practice in 2023 called Be Heard - Live Well. I chose the name because I firmly believe that the people who put their time, money, and trust in me deserved to be heard and to live well. I have been in therapy myself and have had painful experiences with therapists who did not care and were unwilling to listen and this has motivated me to become a therapist who listens and is empathetic.  Wherever you are in your journey and whatever challenges you are facing, I am available to listen, guide, and support you as your dedicated therapist. I am available for free 15-minute consultations to allow people considering therapy to ask questions and get the information they need to make an informed decision.
