My therapeutic approach is not confined to a singular method; I adapt so I can meet the individual's specific needs and preferences, fostering a supportive environment for personal growth and healing.
I became a mental health clinician because life can be hard, and it is important that people have a safe space to work through life's hardships. Counseling inspires me as no matter what life throws at you, there are people around to provide support. I intend to be a place that people can find support and have someone walk beside them as they tackle new and old hurts.
Exposure to generational trauma and the hope of breaking the cycle motivated my career choice in mental health. People oftentimes have limited control over what happens to them, but they have full control of how they respond. My goal is to empower individuals to respond in ways that reduce trauma, improve self-image, and allow them to be the best version of themselves.
As a licensed mental health therapist with many years of experience, I empower clients to help them realize the lives they desire and goals they dream. If you are looking for a safe virtual therapeutic space to explore issues, gain insight, remove blocks, and move towards a healthier, more joyful and fulfilling life, you’re in the right place. Because every client is unique, I use a collaborative therapeutic approach to help you find the solutions that work best for your life and circumstances.
As a certified psychiatric/mental health and family nurse practitioner, I have extensive experience in evaluating and managing patients with mental health issues.
I bring a rich background in clinical experience including work within community mental health, residential facilities, school-based services and private practice.
In my practice, I utilize a strengths-based approach. I foster a therapeutic environment enriched with humor and empathy, nurturing trust and collaboration with my clients. I specialize in working within the whole human lifecycle, from age six to end of life. In working with individuals and families, we will focus on addressing the "stuck points" in your life that interfere with your connection with others; these can include big "T" and little "t" traumas, parenting, life adjustments, mood disorders, anxiety/panic, and relational stressors.
I expect the people who take care of me to be compassionate, intelligent, resourceful, dependable, available, and empathetic. I would expect no less from myself in caring for my own patients.
Navigating life transitions and relationship challenges can be daunting and often leads to feelings of uncertainty and isolation. Recognizing the importance of seeking support during these times is crucial for healing and growth. With a holistic approach to therapy, including CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, and EMDR, my practice addresses the mind-body connection to promote overall well-being.
