My clients would likely say I am down-to-earth and open-minded. 20 years of experience have taught me that respectful understanding is key in working with clients who seek to understand/explore their circumstances, proactively engage in their lives, and - simply put - feel better. My main area of work has been supporting adolescents and adults with emotional difficulties, traumatic events, decision-making, and coping skills for life transitions (school, career, "adulting”). I work in tandem with clients as they identify their challenges, needs, and goals. My approach while kind and interactive encourages self-reliance.
We can all get stuck in chronic irritability, impatience, and self-defeating thoughts or actions. Working with a trained and experienced professional can benefit how we manage our relationships, understand ourselves, and navigate professional and academic goals.
Finding effective and affordable mental health care is essential. With current access issues that are actual barriers, it can be challenging. I am here to offer support as a primary option and have included a list of trusted clinicians in the endorsement section for your benefit to explore recommended/alternate options.
