My philosophy is to take care of the WHOLE PERSON on my couch or in the comfy chair across from me. I don't just see your "issue" or "problem" — I see you as a full and complete human who is struggling and needs some help. We all need help at times. I act as a sounding board and guide. Not a critic or a savior, but a person and your equal, to help you discover better ways of trying life a bit differently. My clients are highly motivated to invite positive change into their lives, and I thrive off using that energy to help them and YOU achieve ultimate success.
I provide individual, couples, and family therapy sessions. I specialize in counseling young adults, adolescents, teens, and highly motivated couples and families. I have my therapy dog, Ollie J. Hamsteak in each session to offer animal assisted therapy to all my clients. He provides a sense of relief and comfort during tough sessions. He adores his job!
I am a compassion, energetic, and experienced therapist. I enjoy meeting new clients and creating strong healing relationships through humor, different and new therapeutic styles/exercises. I pride myself in my ability to adjust and cater each session to your mood, personality, and energy. I'll meet you exactly where you're at emotionally.
