"Life happens, trust me I know. Having overcome challenges throughout my life, everyday I bring my passion and experiences to the work I do with my clients. I believe in meeting my clients where they are, and not where I think they should be. Everyone heals at their own pace, and I respect that. At the same time, if I think you can handle it, I give a big dose of tough love when you need it! After all, somebody has to tell you about yourself! My clients tell me that my sense of humor, customized approach, and respect for their personal and cultural beliefs allows them to feel at ease during their sessions. I put a strong emphasis on making their therapeutic experience a team and strengths based approach. I believe that in order for treatment to be successful, you have to be invested and help develop treatment goals that are practical and suit your specific needs and abilities. I look forward to joining you on your journey as you work towards overcoming the obstacles that may be holding you back from being the best version of YOU!
