About My Clients
Do you struggle to sleep because your brain just won't shut off? Do you get stuck in a spiral of anxiety that is impacting your daily life? Do you struggle to focus and concentrate on basis tasks? Is getting out of bed getting more difficult? Did you know that the answer to these questions is effective evidenced based therapy? I provide this and I would love to talk more with you on how I can help treat what's bothering you in a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space.
My Background and Approach
A little background on me, I have been practicing in the field of mental health since 2000. I have worked in a variety of settings including: inpatient, community mental health, residential, case management, emergency services and outpatient clinical care settings. I take an evidence-based approach to therapy, yet recognize the importance of a client centered clinical approach meeting clients where they are at and helping them to where they want to be. I strive to build a safe and non-judgmental therapeutic space where patients feel comfortable exploring concerns and issues. I enjoy getting to know each client and personalize therapy with customized tailored treatment plans. I help those struggling with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, suicidal thoughts, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief and loss, difficult life transitions (divorce, job loss, medical issues) and stress management, learn to find more effective and clinically proven strategies to manage these issues.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a true believer in that anyone and everyone can make changes and grow. Growth is a journey, not a race. The pace is different for everyone and I adjust to meet you at your particular pace. Therapy is a journey that takes time, patience and hard work to make sustainable changes in our lives. I am here to join you on your journey! Some of the causes that bring me joy include fostering dogs, volunteering with Pepper's Senior Dog Sanctuary and volunteering with my daughter's parent teacher student association. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, biking, kayaking, camping and attending my daughter's soccer games. I also enjoy quiet time with reading, meditating, and practicing mindfulness. I have 3 dogs, a cat and 4 chickens that keep me on my toes. My number one self care activity is walking on most days of the week! With 3 dogs to walk, they keep me honest and remind me to walk them everyday! I look forward to meeting you and being a guide you on your journey.
