I have spent the past 20 years working with children, adolescents and adults in hospitals, residential settings and private practice. I employ a passion for walking life's difficult journeys alongside-in partnership with-my clients. I have experience working with individuals struggling with illness, grief/bereavement, relationships, co-dependency, alcohol/drug abuse, trauma, parenting, depression/anxiety and general life difficulty.
The therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance to my work. Using this foundation I work collaboratively with clients to assist them in feeling understood, while also identifying their goals and developing strategies for becoming the healthiest and most fulfilled versions of themselves. I work excpetionally well with clients who are hesitant about and resistant to therapy due to my warm, compassionate, non-judgmental and engaging style.
Clients who choose to work with me can expect to leave sessions feeling understood and supported. I challenge clients when needed, but in a manner that feels positive and encouraging. Many of us feel as if we are on a symbolic island, struggling in isolation. My primary goal is to assist clients in establishing that they are not alone and gently nudge them towards living to their full potential.
