Clients that are seeking help, no matter the topic, it always inspires me because that is the first difficult step in self-care. Whether their needs are individual or about improving relationships, they are reaching out. I am here to help develop and witness them achieve the goals they set out for themselves. Whether you are having relationship issues with a family member or partner, experiencing anxiety or depression, or need advice about hoarding tendencies. The client needs someone who provides empathy, compassion and understanding, and that is what I offer.
I am here to help clients identify the root cause of what they're struggling with. I have the ability to connect with people through understanding their situation. I am well educated in trauma, child/teen development , family preservation, ADHD strategies for effective parenting, hoarding tendencies and after care, self-growth and awareness.
I have an honest and authentic approach that will allow you to reach your full potential in the journey of life. Life is hard sometimes, and with added struggles it becomes debilitating. But you are here now! Understand that I come with over 20 years of lived and employment experience, which will allow me to have a deeper understanding of your story!
