About My Clients
I work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, stress, trauma, are struggling with parenting & relationships, & have been impacted by adoption/foster care. I guide clients in finding relief & healing & work with parents who are learning how to understand & meet their children's emotional & behavioral needs. My ideal client is open to change & self-reflection. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and work hard to provide a welcoming space for everyone.
