Life is full of ups and downs; twists and turns; unpredictability and chaos at times; excitement and joy; grief and loss; and a combination of various life events, which can lead to feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, angry, fearful, and not knowing exactly which way to turn. I have always had a passion for helping others! It is rewarding and satisfying when I can pass on my knowledge gained throughout my own life experience combined with my educational background and watch the progression as someone feels empowered to utilize the skills learned in therapy to create the life they envision for themselves!
I have experience working with children and adolescents who have social/ emotional/ behavioral challenges; family systems; and adults with substance abuse challenges and mental health challenges. I utilize various therapeutic models when working with clients, including trauma-informed care, eco-systemic family therapy, CBT, and mindfulness.
I truly believe that everyone has inside of them everything needed to lead a fulfilling and productive life, sometimes, obstacles can get in the way and cloud one’s perception, making it challenging to navigate through those obstacles alone. I would be honored and humbled to join with you and help you along on your journey through self-discovery.
