Healing takes courage, and I believe that we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it. This is a stance I take when working with clients who have trauma, addiction, gambling, or other mental health struggles. I work with teens and adults, who are seeking a supportive and understanding environment where they can be authentic and vulnerable. Their goals include overcoming past traumas, breaking free from addictive behaviors, managing codependent tendencies, and addressing unresolved issues.
I am committed to clients in providing holistic and innovative techniques tailored to the client. My practical approach involves elements of engagement and enjoyment to the therapeutic experience, making it productive and fun. I find using evidenced based therapy combined with humor, metaphors, and authenticity to help alleviate stress in sessions.
I look forward to getting the chance to work with you and together we can help you confront emotional pain, develop healthy coping skills, and get you to a point of healing. Start by getting on the path to a more fulfilling, empowered, and resilient version of yourself, and feel free to reach out and schedule a free consultation call with me.
