I believe obstacles can be paths and hope to be of service to those who are struggling. The willingness to ask for help requires courage. I strive to provide guidance and support as we explore your inner strengths. I do not ask my clients to do anything that I would not do. I recognize my own fallibilities because I am human, too. Through collaborative work and a desire to push towards change, my goal is to aid in recognizing what you have control over in order to make the most of your time. I am straight-forward yet compassionate because I believe genuineness nurtures growth. We cannot choose what happens to us; however, we can learn how to respond more effectively as we build toward a life worth living. I have been in the behavioral health field for over 15 years in multiple positions. In my free time I enjoy spending time with those I care about, trying to read my constantly growing stack of books, exploring new neighborhoods with my dog, listening to true-crime podcasts, and eating spicy foods. My goal is to ensure the highest quality of care for my clients while being genuine and validating. I look forward to working with you!
