We are all on our own journey in life, filled with experiences big and small that have shaped our present. At times we all have our own work to do to feel mentally healthy and balanced in our relationship with ourselves and others. Therapy is a courageous and powerful step for your journey, helping you grow and/or heal to reach the goals you desire. By meeting you where you are at emotionally/mentally we work for you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, discover patterns in your life and learn skills for you to reach your goals.
- I have over two decades working closely with individuals, couples and families, learning, supporting, teaching and guiding. I taught parenting classes and child development for over three years using Positive and Active parenting styles. I also conduct couples counseling. It is my passion to support couples in having a more connected relationship.
I have a Therapy Dog who will be joining my practice late Summer 2022 after she passes her positive trainings Level 1 and 2. Her name is Callie and she is a mix of a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Portuguese Water Dog. She will be in my office one day a week. Her job will be to aid in a more relaxing environment.
