Welcome! I am excited to potentially work with you! My approach offers a supportive and empathic environment meant to help you develop tools and insights in your journey forward. If you have struggled with feeling stuck, discouraged/dissatisfied, indecisive, lack confidence, inability to meet/identify goals, relationships struggles, work stressors, addiction/loved one with addiction and/or other life challenges then let’s explore these challenges together to cope and empower you to make decisions in support of the life you want! YOU deserve it. Together, we can get clear on your goals for the life you want to live!
I have worked in the field of mental health and addiction treatment for the over 10 years and practicing privately for over 5 years. My approach has always been person centered with a focus on building self empowerment. My experience includes developing healthy thinking patterns, overcoming fears/habits, removing barriers and healing.
Take the first step. You do not need to face these matters or issues alone. There is hope! And healing can start today! You can make the difference by investing in yourself now. It might be scary, but there is no need to stay stuck! Give me a call or send an email so we can connect and see if I am a good fit for you. Sliding scale rates available! :)
