So you’ve decided to dive into the world of therapy. Maybe you and your partner are having communication issues. Maybe your child is experiencing social anxiety at school. Or maybe your family is having a hard time understanding one another. Whatever the reason that brought you here, I hope that by the time you finish reading you will feel comfortable with taking me on this journey with you. My goal is to provide a safe space led with compassion and unconditional positive regard. I am passionate about looking through a systemic lens to cultivate change within individuals. We are a product of our environment, after all.
The hallmark of my therapy style draws from a strengths-based approach. This means that I like to help clients find strengths in their adversities to build them up for resiliency. You can do this. Additionally, I have extensive experience in working with children and adolescents.
My most recent experience includes providing psychotherapy for children with severe mental illness in a community mental health setting. As a member of the Great Lakes Psychology Group network, you can book an appointment with me instantly by clicking on the ‘my website’ button, where you’ll find my up-to-date calendar.
