Great to meet you!

Working in the Mental Health field for over 20 years, I have always been passionate about helping clients to reach their full potential and live a healthy and satisfying life.

My experience ranges from working with individuals, teens, and couples in the areas of Managing Life Challenges, Depression/Trauma, Anxiety, Stress and Anger Management, Family and Partner Relationship Conflicts, Parenting, as well as ADHD.

A bit about my approach to therapy

During the initial session(s) my focus is on providing a welcoming environment and getting to know the client(s) as well as the issues where they are experiencing difficulties.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal for each session is that my clients will have an opportunity to express themselves, feel understood and valued, and each time take away something that comforts, educates, or enlightens them.

Empowering
