I help clients identify what is affecting them within all different areas of their lives, as well as their options for making things better or solving the issues altogether. I work with clients to create steps toward making a happier, healthier life.
I am a therapist for many reasons. When I see someone struggling, I genuinely want to help. It’s a way for me to show compassion, empathy and to support people. I am human and have struggled at times. I feel that my experiences help me to understand how my clients are feeling.
I am usually busy with my two children, 2 dogs and fifteen plants and counting. When I have down time I love listening to music, singing at the top of my lungs (when alone) and working on a project such as painting or building something. I love doing anything outdoors, especially in warm weather. In the summer you can find me swimming in a lake. I find water relaxing and grounding. I also love attend comedy shows and watch funny movies. I find laughing to be a great stress reliever.
