Hope is like a seed planted in a garden. If properly tended the potential for beauty and goodness is vast; if ignored, the seed may grow for a moment only to be choked out by weeds. Hope is also believing that a positive outcome is possible despite the challenges being endured. My approach in therapy is to help reveal hope by providing caring support, clarity, unbiased feedback, new coping skills, new communication skills, and a safe place to sort through the trials you are facing. Initial goals attended to include restoring hope that something will change for the better and earning your trust through being a safe person for you. A wide array of settings and clients from diverse backgrounds lay the foundation of my experience. I have treated clients of all ages, races, and socio-economic statuses since 2000. Work settings included outpatient clinics, schools, a day treatment facility, and crisis shelters. I truly enjoy working with people as individuals, couples, and families. The next step is to call me! I’ll ask a little about you and what you’re seeking therapy for. I’ll answer any questions you may have for me. We’ll schedule a time to meet. I am more than happy to offer a short in person consultation to give you the opportunity to decide if I am the right fit for your therapeutic needs.
