I understand and respect the courage it takes to talk with someone about personal and sometimes uncomfortable topics. It is my goal to assist a client in achieving overall wellness, which I believe is key to long term happiness. If you are motivated for change in your life but not sure how to achieve that change, I would love to assist you on that journey to positive change. I believe that the relationship between the therapist and client is primary to change and see myself as your partner in the process.
As a certified first responder counselor I feel that I have the privilege to work with responders who have served and continue to serve our community. I see my role in working with responders as a small way of giving back to them for that service.

C.S.Lewis once said, " You can't go back and change the beginning but you can start where you are and change the ending". I believe that you must meet the client where they are currently. To provide a safe environment to alleviate crises, identify current needs, process past issues/traumas, and identify future goals for self. Also, to help clients learn to change negative behaviors/habits, to identify their own strengths, and develop positive coping skills in order to improve their quality of life. I believe your past does not have to define you but you can use it to propel yourself forward into the future that you hope to have.

The good news is that this has been disproven. In the last several years, exciting discoveries in neuroscience have demonstrated that we can work to mold our own brains throughout our lifetime. There are actions we can take and easy therapies we can participate in that will be effective in helping us feel better. Our minds are our own tool for healing. She looks forward to sharing this empowering knowledge as a working partner in her clients’ healing journey. Her goal is to be the best resource possible for her clients to utilize in their healing journey. She has a multidimensional perspective on the healing process because everyone is unique and needs a personalized approach.
