As someone who has faced personal challenges, I have found my passion in helping others to find a path through theirs. I operate from a strengths-perspective and believe in utilizing an individual's natural instincts to address barriers while incorporating healthy coping techniques to improve overall wellness. I am willing to work with those who fall into any "category" along the spectrum of mental health who share a common goal to live their best life.
A majority of my clinical experience has been in life transitions, including college-age, new parents, and empty nesters. I utilize motivational enhancement strategies to assist individuals with identifying a clear direction for themselves with regard to their goals for treatment.
We will work together to maintain your personal strengths and address barriers in order to progress on your self-defined goals. I invite you to reach out via email (preferable) or phone call/text to see how we can get started together. I like to start with a brief phone conversation before any charges apply for a session.
