Personal Statement
Mental health impacts each of us differently, making it even more important to not compare or judge how each of us feel and respond to life’s stressors. One of the most rewarding components of my job is truly meeting each client in their individual time of need. During your therapy journey, we spend time exploring your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, increasing your self-awareness and tweaking the tools you utilize to manage your emotions in a healthier way.
Seeking out therapy can be nerve-wreaking and feel foreign. Within my practice, I strive to create a healthy rapport with each client. Creating a trusting relationship with each client allows for therapy to be tailored to your needs. We utilize your existing knowledge and skills, while enhancing and reaffirming your commitment to healthier management.
For more than 12 years, I have been providing services for individuals with mental health needs. I’ve worked in an inpatient mental health hospital, a partial hospitalization program, and in outpatient clinics. A primary mission of mine has been seeing clients as/when they need support and assistance. As a therapist, a mom of 3 active and chaotic kids, a wife and various other roles, I can personally understand the feeling when being faced with stressors. I would be honored to work alongside you during your mental health journey.
