I consider it an honor and privilege to partner with my clients and to hold a place for their story. My desire is to create a safe place for my clients where they can be heard and find the personal freedoms that they desire. I work with clients of all ages, utilizing a client-centered approach and integrating cognitive behavioral therapy in my work. I have also been trained in Brain Spotting and utilize this approach in my clinical work. I am grateful for the opportunity I have to be able to use my training and skill-set to help clients make progress towards the vision and goals that they have for their life, and I hope to be an encouragement to them along their journey.
