Are you someone who is looking for a partner on your journey to improve your mental health? Whether you are seeking a mental health partner for your child or for yourself, for over 15 years, I have worked with children and adults of all ages to guide them through various life transitions and difficult times. My methods are approachable, empathetic, relatable and collaborative. I see us as partners on this journey. Throughout the course of your journey, I'm actively listening to your unique needs, working with you to focus on building strengths and creating strategies for continued growth.
Our mental health is all encompassing and includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. I also apply holistic strategies that consider all three and I work with my clients to understand their emotions and how to interact with others around them. I can also apply Play, Strength Based, Trauma or Structured Family Therapy.
Whether you're seeking therapy for the first time, returning to therapy, or seeking a partner for your child, I hope to hear from you and wish you good luck on your continued mental health journey.
