I am a clinician whose passion is working with individuals, couples and groups from diverse cultures and backgrounds. I work from a whole-person and inclusive perspective, welcoming clients with their own personal circumstances. At times, anyone may feel overwhelmed, stressed, stumble and just feel unsure of what to do. This is a great time to talk with a clinician who is interested in your concerns, your well-being and desired outcome. The initial meeting is intended to be informative and decisive. With commitment and partnership during the therapy process, getting to a productive and restored place is expected .
Based on information received during our initial meeting, I will propose the best approach and steps for assisting you. Your decision. Areas of practice are: Employee Assistance, Stress, anxiety/mood disorders, Life-Transitions, and Relational problems. Building trust and alliance, accountability, along with follow through helps determine the best outcome.
Many of us have gone through bothersome experiences and can use support. I offer flexible tele-health appointments to accommodate our schedules. I understand that taking the first step or trying again Takes Courage. Affirm you can do it! You are invited to work towards change. It does take making the call and following thru. You decide, and, Be encouraged!
