I know this might be scary to be vulnerable with a stranger but I'm proud of you for deciding to put yourself first and focus on your needs. I'm proud of you for taking this next step. If you're looking for help or direction look no further, I'm here to assist you. You're not alone I'm here to walk with you through this journal in your life. Please know that WE all have struggles that we must overcome. I've worked with many types of clients from couples, to children, to teens, military and adults. Remember change is scary but sometimes needed to achieve your goals.
Clients I've worked with in the past had Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Phobias, Social Anxiety, OCD, Overthinking, Challenging Negative Thoughts, and Self-Esteem and Self- Awareness to name a few. Together we'll find the best treatment modality to formulate a plan to help manage symptoms. I believe in working on Solution Focus and starting from the beginning.
I'm a caring, FUNNY, and optimistic person who loves to help others. I've had challenges I had to face so I know the work needed to see change. We're a team and you can think of me as an agent of change. My goal is to challenge your behaviors and find ways to replace unwanted thoughts, feeling, emotions with newly learned behaviors. Let's work together!
