I am stoked to be where I am today, having an opportunity to serve you. I have experience with crisis intervention, primarily serving young adults and families. I consider myself mellow and empathetic. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults. I strive to provide a safe and unbiased place, where we can partner together in identifying areas of concern in your life and develop a treatment plan that works for you. I also offer telehealth options as part of the response to COVID 19 concerns.
My goal is to assist you with identifying the concerns that matter to you most and developing a plan, with you, that allows you to practice skills and see change.
I am a huge advocate of taking "baby steps," to get where we want to be in life. Life's a marathon not a sprint! You WILL accomplish your desires, and I intend to be there (with water) every step of the way! I look forward to working with you!"
