I originally wanted to be a teacher. I have always loved learning. It was in my studies that I found a love for psychology and sociology. I transitioned to social work. I love it because it looks at a person in their environment and tries to assist in finding ways to manage their life through internal and external barriers.

Clients who are willing to do the homework. I know it seems boring or that it is not going to work. I break down why exercises are given and what potential benefits are to be expected. I cannot make you use the tools; I can only show you how to use them.

Your health, both mental and physical, is a journey. It does not have a particular destination, only a path laid out before you. You decide where it takes you. I can only assist with how to navigate some of the harder terrains.

We will start by reviewing your past mental health experiences. What worked and what did not work. Then we will look at your current and past relationships with self, family, friends, and intimate partners. From there, we explore how each relationship is impacting you. Then we ask what it is that you want out of therapy. From there, we create a plan and change as we go. It's a lot, but life is rarely simple.

I try to promote your voice. I want you to be heard.

I try to take a person in the environment. We identify what can be controlled and what is out of our control. We build a plan that is for you. We try to work with what works with you, not against you.
