About Me
I have over 20 years of experience working with adults and children who have been physically/sexually abused or neglected and that have various substance abuse and mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. I specialize in women’s mental health and offer support during the pregnancy, postpartum and parenting period. My goal is to establish a therapeutic relationship with each individual while striving to be honest and maintain professionalism at all times. Homework assignments will be given as appropriate and relaxation exercises may be presented to encourage problem solving and coping skills. I believe in empowering individuals to overcome personal obstacles that may be keeping them from reaching their goals in life.
