About My Clients
You have a high stress/high risk job that you once loved, but something happened over the years and life changed. You have tried ‘quick fixes’, but you are finding that those fixes are not sustainable or even healthy. Your anxiety and depression is contributing to poor sleep, creating health problems and leading to arguments with others. You feel disconnected from life, especially from your family. You want help, but you find the overwhelming fear of stigma and retaliation is too much!
My Background and Approach
I have spent 20 years in the mental health field working in some capacity or another around mental wellness education and substance. I offer Solution Focused Counseling and incorporate other practices and skills, such as ecotherapy, coaching, coping skills, self-care, mindfulness and emotional regulation for individuals experiencing "stressed and overwhelmed" feelings, that is creating anxiety and depression. My style is very conversational, direct, warm, supportive, and a guiding collaborative relationship. You will hear the use of metaphors and we will have lots of laughs. As a Heart Centered Counselor, I am passionate about cultivating personal awareness and connection with self, others, and the environment to improve both mental well-being and physical health. I value that all aspects of life and experiences are deeply interconnected and through collaboration, education, and empowerment, I can offer valuable insight for your journey into sustainability well-being.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Counseling does not have to feel complicated or a complex operation. It is a collaborative journey to enrich your life, but trying to find the right counselor for your anxiety and depression is tough. I help females who work in high stress/high risk occupations, such as First Responders (Police, Fire, EMS, Dispatch, Former Military), Medical Professionals, Teachers, Attorneys, Counselors and First Responder partners who are struggling with feeling burnt out, unheard, overwhelmed and under appreciated, so they're looking for a counselor who can relate to them and also understands the work culture stigma and family dynamics influencing the lack of self-care. I have an understanding of what is fueling the anxiety, depression and how that is impacting your life. I am here to help you find the calm in the storm.
