I always consider the client to be the expert of their own life struggles.
I am a Registered Clinical Social Worker and Certified Clinical Trauma Therapist. Over the past 27 years, I worked in many different capacities but, by far, I am truly grateful for the work I do now as a therapist.
Life is too short to live an unhappy, stressful, anxiety-filled life. I would be happy to work along side you to support, guide, challenge, encourage the life/mind shift needed to help you regain your footing on a better path, and to realize your true potential/purpose. You got this!
My practice includes working with children (7+), teens, adults, and couples. I have extensive experience supporting individuals who have experienced trauma, including sexual assault; women's health issues; post-traumatic stress disorder; workplace trauma; mental health issues; addictions; behavioral issues; and family/relationship issues.
I bring life experience and 26 years of working in the field. You can expect a safe, calm, peaceful, trauma-informed environment filled with challenges, positivity, empathy, grace, non judgemental, empowerment and resourcefulness. Feel free to reach out for a 15 minute free consult to determine a good fit.
