About Us

My goal is to provide a safe space to openly explore barriers that can prevent my clients from maintaining lasting joy in their lives. Inner beliefs, past experiences, and unhealthy relationships are often a central issue we face in learning to live as our whole selves, fully accepted and fully loved. My mission is to help my clients find wholeness and know their inherent worth. I have worked with children, families, gerontology, hospital social work, substance abuse recovery, and hospice. As well as teenage girls, as they navigate healing concerns such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, self-harm, learning disabilities, and self-esteem. , I also have experience treating clients with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), ADD/ADHD, co-occurring disorders, and attachment issues. I’ve continued my career working with adult women facing similar challenges, using holistic healing methods alongside a dynamic team of professionals to address issues in clients’ lives as they move toward healing. , In working with clients, existential therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and reality therapy are my main models of choice. I also incorporate concepts of multiple theories of practice, dependent upon the individualized needs of the client. I am excited to be on board at Hope and Healing Counseling Services and look forward to serving you.
