About
Seeking help and support is a sign of personal strength; not weakness. However, this is not the message we always receive from those around us. Engaging in therapy can be an intimidating decision to sign up for. I take this into account when meeting with my clients. I believe in providing my clients with a sincere effort to build a therapeutic relationship by getting to know each person and providing professional, honest feedback to move forward towards their personal growth. I believe in addressing personal goals and checking in on where the client’s mindset is, as life tends to throw us unexpected changes at unexpected times.
My approach is client-centered as each person’s journey is different, with varying challenges and personal goals along the way. My experience includes working with individuals from various backgrounds and circumstances with a focus on: co-occurring disorders, incarceration, familial challenges, addiction and recovery, loss & grief, etc.
In my sessions, I lead with an empathetic, realistic mindset, knowing that we all have our own history of life experiences, and our own perspectives that come with it. Self-growth takes courage and commitment. Learning about yourself is a journey that I believe is lifelong. I look forward to engaging with you and building a supportive connection.
