Great to meet you!

I have my bachelor's in social work and earned my master's degree in mental health counseling in 2013. I have most of my experience in substance abuse treatment as well as grief, trauma, suicide prevention, and mood and anxiety disorders. I love being able to provide a listening ear and helping others find their way to a life that is more aligned with their goals/desires and values.

My approach to therapy

I approach therapy from a holistic standpoint and like to focus on all areas of an individual’s life. Though the focus for the session may be more centered on a specific topic, this can connect to multiple concerns a person has and improve ones overall life. We can work on this together.

Life can be really tough and carrying that weight alone can be exhausting. I am here to help life some of that weight, so hopefully you can get some relief and be able to have the life you dream about. I also do life coaching through the Law Of Attraction.

What you can expect from me

I work best with clients who strive for connection and growth. With each session a client usually comes away with new understanding about their situation. And if we can add a little humor to help process things, then all the more help with moving towards your life goals and dreams.

For the first session, I take time to get to know you, ask questions about what brought you to meeting me, your past, and how I can support you. This will hopefully be a time for you to get to know me to see if we would be a good fit.
