My approach is directive but acknowledges the client as their own expert. 
I use a systems-oriented, strengths-based approach to activate change.
I hold certifications in Addiction as well as Integrative Medicine & Nutrition for Mental Health
I'm passionate about working with clients 18 and older, throughout the lifespan, navigating a wide range of challenges and transitions.
My clients begin to trust themselves, honor who they are, and move forward with hope, courage, and strength.
I bring assertiveness, honesty, and humor to my practice.
