I have been working in the mental health field for over 20 years and I have worked in a variety of settings including psychiatric hospitals, community mental health, employee assistance, and now private practice. What I love most about what I do is learning and understanding my clients' individual histories and current life situations. Therapy is not a "one size fits all" treatment plan, everyone's story is unique and their story has to be heard. My clients and I work as a team to figure out what the goals of therapy are and to try to reach those goals as best as we can. My job is to guide, not lead, a client on their journey.
I specialize in working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adult populations. I enjoy working with young people to discover who they are and to help them navigate the transitions that life brings them. I also enjoy working with difficult family situations and helping families heal from tough times.
My job is to listen in an open and honest manner. What I want to offer to potential clients is knowing that I am a safe person to talk to and will listen in a non-threatening and non-judgmental manner. Your confidentiality is of the utmost important to me.
