Well, hello! Looking to make some changes? Let's talk. I enjoy working with people on topics of adjustment and change, work life balance, mental health symptoms and substance use. I also enjoy supporting clients in long-term recovery to reclaim their lives. Whether you want to address mental health symptoms that are impacting your daily life or struggle with substance abuse, I have a very supportive, goal-directed and non-judgmental approach to help you identify and reach your goals.
By identifying life problems, past roadblocks and core values, we can learn to make choices that are more in line with their goals in ways that encourage contentment, stability and success.
I encourage active and honest communication with my clients and value feedback about your therapeutic experience. I will work with you to create a supportive and open space where clients can explore personal values, mental health concerns, past events and overall well-being.
