Allowing my clients to feel comfortable and establishing a therapeutic relationship is the first step to success and sets a foundation for positive change. I am passionate in helping individuals find hope and healing. Sessions will incorporate a strengths-based, client-centered focus that seeks to enhance a person's level of motivation for personal growth and change. Using the strengths and insight of the individual, I support my clients in empowering them on a positive path while providing them with the tools and skills to meet their goals for their present and future.
I work with children, adults, couples and families. I am experienced in multiple treatment approaches to best understand the myriad of complex factors that result in emotional distress, physical symptoms, and school, work, and/or relationship problems. I support the client in developing greater self-awareness leading to healing, change, and growth.
During our therapy sessions, I provide a warm, safe, supportive environment in which my clients are able to explore the issues and challenges they face. I welcome you to reach out to further learn how I can offer assistance in supporting you on this journey of healing, growth and happiness.
