As we travel our journey, there are times that we need extra help and support. Especially, to move through the rough and uncomfortable times. In therapy, I believe it is important to meet people at what stage they are in while making that journey. This allows us to build the right tool box to equip them for success. I have over 20 years of experience working with adults, teenagers, and adolescents. My experience has been around helping individuals with anxiety, depression, parenting, behavior management, trauma, and other life stressors.
I am eclectic in my treatment approach. Meaning, I use different treatment approaches based off what best suits the client in front of me. I believe the therapeutic rapport, complemented with safety and trust, are the best techniques I bring to the therapeutic process.
I do not offer free consultations. I use the initial appointment to find out what is wanted and needed in therapy. During that time I work on establishing therapeutic rapport and work on developing a plan for services.
