I know going to see a counselor for help can be an intimidating experience. I also know life is full of transitions, some of them are by our choice, others are imposed on us. Once we are able to get everything out on the table so that I understand your situation, we will work together to target goals and begin the process of reaching those goals. With over 20 years of mental health experience, I have worked closely with individuals, couples, families and teens on a variety of issue. I have had the privilege of hearing peoples stories and helping them gain insight and tools along their journey.
My orientation is integrative — merging traditional and holistic modalities of treatment. I view the treatment process as one which embodies the creation of a safe space for personal reflection, re-evaluation, healing, transformation, and manifestation. My goal is to assist each individual to come to know and value themselves.
I care deeply about the power of choice, change, and growing within your surroundings. I use effective techniques to reframe thought patterns, uncover underlying self-truths, and relinquish self-sabotaging behaviors, which can free us to continue our journey to become the people we were meant to be. I believe everyone deserves to experience a life well-live.
