As a result of my own healing journey, I realized the importance of having a safe place to explore, heal and grow. I wanted to create that “therapeutic space” for my clients. I view this space as a “mental health playground”. In this playground, therapy isn’t a correction, it’s a collaboration. There is room for silence, sadness, meaning and humor. It’s not about “fixing” yourself, it’s about discovering what makes you whole.
The three words that best capture my therapeutic style are: Authentic, Faith-based and Straightforward.
I have a passion for refinishing old furniture and giving it new life. Home decor is another interest of mine. I believe that our homes are reflective of our mental state. I refer to it as “Home Decor Therapy”. I think people may be surprised to know that I love to line dance. I even teach a few dances.
My approach is all about progress, not perfection. I collaborate with my clients to set meaningful goals, take manageable steps and to grow at a pace that is comfortable to them.
The most rewarding part of being a therapist is witnessing the transformation of my clients in becoming the best version of themselves.
One tip I often share with clients is to speak to themselves as they would to someone they deeply care about. The way we speak to ourselves has a powerful impact; it can shape our mindset and emotional well-being. During challenging moments, it’s especially important to be patient, compassionate, and encouraging toward ourselves.
“I am not alone in this, and healing is possible”.
