I started in the mental health field as a case manager working with adults with severe and persistent mental illnesses and found my love for providing individual counseling. I began working with children and families and eventually transitioned to working primarily with adults. I take a trauma-informed, holistic (mind-body connection) approach. I prioritize being present with each client and emphasize the importance of presence within our every day lives. I recognize the strength and discomfort healing requires and will always hold a safe space for my clients to remain true and honest with themselves.
