Prior to my work seeing clients in a counseling capacity, I enjoyed helping teens and young adults navigate life transitions through various supportive roles (teaching, advising, mentoring, life skills coaching) at SFC and UF, and am excited to be building upon those experiences by empowering my clients to identify and utilize their strengths through life’s complex dynamics.
The majority of my clients’ presenting issues involve stress, anxiety, depression, relationships of various kinds, identity, coping, life balance, differentiation from family of origin, and boundaries. I believe that, with appropriate support toward self-awareness, each client has the ability to discover and practice individualized skills that will ultimately lead to healing, growth, internal peace and fulfilling relationships.
My intent is to offer clients the support, acceptance, insight and guidance needed in order to achieve a healthier and more fulfilling level of functioning in their lives. You may have already identified goals for self-improvement, or maybe you are not yet able to articulate anything beyond your desire to alleviate a general discomfort, soreness, pain or paralyses you feel in one or more areas of your life. It is OK to enter counseling with more questions than answers!
