High satisfaction rate with clients

Nice to meet you

I have had experience working in a variety of settings including: substance abuse rehabilitation centers, domestic abuse shelters, community mental health clinics, and private practice. My style is very direct and solution focused. I believe it's important to get to the root of the problem and work towards a solution. I believe that you are the expert on you and I am here to help and guide through the learning and healing process. I am very laid back and wholeheartedly believe that as tough as therapy can be, it can also be really fun. We can work together to discover your strengths, goals, and how to manage any pesky mental health concerns!

Interests

In the summer I like to golf, walk my dog, and go to the beach. In the winter, I read a lot, I still walk my dog (just not as far), and I play paddle ball. I really enjoy going to new places (restaurants, museums, etc.) and exploring all that's around me!
