Working in admissions for psychiatric and detox services for six years created a desire to work with a variety of clients ranging from those coping with depression and anxiety to traumas. I have a passion for working with mothers (single moms, those with a partner, working moms, those trying to conceive, those who are grieving, those needing a hot cup of coffee...oh wait, that is all of us!). I also have a great desire to help clients who are working through traumatic experiences, grief processing, and other related disorders. I am open and excited to work with all populations and would love to talk more to see if it's a good fit for us both!
Given my wide range of experience in the field, I hope to be able to help a wide variety of clients through their life journeys. I have seen clients at their worst being admitted to inpatient or an intensive outpatient program and have seen clients at their best after completing their therapy journey and my goal is to be with you every step of the way.
If you are seeking someone to listen when it is warranted, challenge when needed and offer continuous support and encouragement, I am your woman! Grab a hot cup of coffee and give me a call to see if we would be a great fit. I look forward to starting your journey with you soon!
