About
I have worked with a wide variety of clients that deal with issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, bullying, substance abuse, eating disorders, and many other issues that interfered with their daily lives. The common goal with each of these is the desire to return to fully functioning healthy and happy lives. I strives to fully understand my clients’ concerns and then provide them with the tools needed to deal with their issues now and in the future. This is accomplished through building an authentic relationship with the client and truly understanding what the client is experiencing.
Through my own experiences with mental illness I have learned that it can be difficult to reach out for help. I often felt that no one understood me or knew how to help me. I want to offer the courage to keep trying and that hope is out there. I care very deeply about my clients and work to help them find both hope and solutions.
I was attracted to field of mental health therapy because I have experienced my own mental health challenges and want to help others cope and recover from similar experiences. As a mental health therapist, I provide a supportive environment that allows people to talk openly with someone who’s objective, empathetic, neutral, and nonjudgmental.
