Be kind. Everyone is fighting a battle we know nothing about
I have been curious about people throughout my life, always making friends with the quirky kids in school. After obtaining a Bachelors in psychology I traveled Europe for a few months and then went to work in a psychiatric hospital to gain experience meeting people with all kinds of problems as well as cutting edge psychiatric treatments. While working there for 10 years I obtained addiction counselor training and my social work degree as I believed socialworkers were the best equipped to help the most people to make lasting change. I spent thenext 9 years as a social worker in various settings helping people of all ages to resolve or cope with a wide range of issues from addiction, to severe mental illness and relationship conflicts. I have spent the last 18 years working in a community outreach program focused on client centered treatment in their homes. During this time I mentored and supervised many of my coworkers and was promoted to program supervisor which took me away from direct clinical work, yet my passion has always been with helping people one on one.
All of these experiences have taught me the value of remaining curious and humble as I hold a safe space to listen and understand each person’s story. I will look to meet you where you are, help you understand how things came to be the way they are and decide thebest step you want to take next

My approach is to develop a relationship where you feel seen, heard, and valued for who you are.
