Let's Connect (833) 893-9362
I enjoy assisting clients in recognizing their strengths and promoting positive growth. I use a client-centered approach but also use a combination of solution-focused, cognitive/ behavior modification and motivational interviewing.
I have more than 22 years of experience in private practice, in-home counseling and school-based services. I have primarily worked with adolescents, young adults and adults. I enjoying walking the therapeutic path with my clients, providing encouragement and support, while also challenging unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors.
I believe that all clients have the strength to address any difficulty that they may experience. I provide a trusting environment where clients can feel safe in exploring their feelings. I have experience in working with ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar disorder, anger issues, life adjustments and parent/child issues.
