About My Clients

I don’t believe in quick band-aid fixes or short-and-sweet solutions. I want you to believe you are resilient enough to come out of any obstacle stronger than when you started. Currently, I specialize in working with adults or adolescents, whether it’s helping you overcome past traumas, improve current relationships or boundaries, lessen your anxiety, or develop healthier coping strategies. Through working together I hope you feel empowered to tackle whatever comes your way with more strength.

My Background and Approach

I have over 10 years of experience as a social worker, helping children, teens, and families in crisis and improving family dynamics and relationships. I have gone through many different trainings on the topic of anxiety and depression. I take a very holistic approach in practice and believe whole heartedly that healing takes place when we figure out the root cause of the pain/trauma/grief. I approach the healing journey with wanting to uncover the root cause and at the same time work on improving your mindset through the healing process. Our mindset plays such a big part in any journey we are in, and learning to improve that can have so many positive impacts on our health and overall life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that to truly improve your health, you need to look at the entire picture, whole body health is a topic I bring up with many clients. Our minds and bodies are deeply connected and to heal one you have to look at the other. I believe everyone could benefit from working with an integrative practitioner of some kind to get your body in a healthy state as well, because that can greatly impact the state of your mental health. I am very spiritual in nature, and find when clients are open to that, we can connect on an even deeper level. Whether you believe in God, the Universe, Aba, etc. -- knowing there is a greater being at work in our lives can open the door to truly amazing synchronicities. I am a co-leader of our local Suicide Prevention Coalition and believe deeply in spreading awareness and education on that topic.
