About My Clients

I strive to help clients see a way forward from feeling stuck by forming a collaborative, therapeutic relationship. This is where clients feel empowered to maneuver life transitions in an authentic and honest way.

My Background and Approach

While it is crucial to identify positive coping skills to navigate difficult times, it is equally as important to acknowledge and strengthen resources already in a client’s toolkit. I use a strengths-based, person-centered approach in my work with adults on setting manageable objectives to meet realistic goals.
