Experience is an amazing thing. Being in practice for over 20 years means I have honed my skills, expanded my understanding, and filled my "tool kit" through real clinical experience. I offer a comfortable and supportive environment that is personal and relaxed. Evidence-based practices and skills are utilized along with genuine connection and support. I enjoy working with school-age children, teens, and adults so together, we can find ways to improve mood, behavior, thinking, relationships and skills. You will learn more effective ways to relate to others and to yourself.
It is a privilege to do this work. I appreciate earning the trust of clients as we travel the healing road together. I view life challenges as normal and work to find new ways to cope, view the problems, and move forward in a new way. I connect well with clients and use humor and direct communication.
I bring energy, experience, and empathy to sessions and sometimes we even laugh! I view clients as people first and believe life is about growing and learning to feel and function better. I am committed to helping you find hope and answers in a comfortable, kind atmosphere. You are strong. Take the next step. Reach out.
