About the space...

Being a mom of two littles allows me to have all the gear. Achieving licensure amidst covid allows me to have prioritized an in home office. Blend these two together with my niches creates a desirable space for individuals to come for therapy and a space for effective counseling to take place with the youngest of clients. Moms are always encouraged to bring their children to appointments as I feel this should never be a barrier to accessing help. 

What to expect.....

I believe counseling begins with building a strong alliance that creates trust and understanding allowing you, the client, to express yourself in an environment with no judgment. Whether you need to simply be heard or need help identifying obstacles and creating plans for change, I will meet you where you are and ensure you are an active stakeholder in not only creating your own therapeutic goals but building the skillset to make those goals attainable.  I have an eclectic approach utilizing a variety of theoretical modalities in response to issues a client presents.  Mainly I am most comfortably employing techniques found in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness and Motivational interviewing.  I also pride myself on continuing education and am dedicated to remaining up-to-date on current empirically supported and researched based best practices. This skill set allows me to comfortably work with topics, ranging but not limited to, depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, self-esteem, stress management, transition/life changes, social skills, addictive behaviors and women's issues. 

I am eager to meet with you wherever you are emotionally and together we can constructively and purposefully work towards the changes you are looking for.  We will start with a brief consultation, completion of paperwork and schedule our first appointment. Within the first three sessions you will not only ensure we are a good match but have identified and agree upon specific goals for you to work on during our time together.
