High satisfaction rate with clients

Nice to meet you

I'm so glad to meet you, and I look forward to getting to know more about you. I have extensive experience working with children and adults, including adults reintegrating into community life after graduating from the county level of care. My therapeutic approach is grounded in safety and wellness. I empower each person to develop their own goals while providing guidance and support with strategies that can help them follow a personalized plan. I appreciate the first steps you’re taking to prioritize your mental health and look forward to learning more about how therapy can best support you. Personally, I enjoy self-care activities such as spending time with my dogs and cats, cooking, traveling to beautiful beaches, and going on local hikes.
