My ideal client would include an individual that is motivated to meet their own goals in order to achieve optimal health and wellness. Their issues may include anxiety, depression, family/life stressors, medical/health issues, and adjustments to life stages. My client wants to feel better, happy, healthy and enjoy their life. They want to learn new ways to work through and address their current concerns. They want to feel better because they deserve to live life to the fullest.

I can help as I have the ability to make connections with individuals easily and build rapport from day one. I will provide psychoeducation to my client and help them understand and identify what they want their life to look like. I often find myself using CBT however, I am often adjust my approach based on the needs of my clients. I am trained in EMDR and am currently completing my consultation hours. I prefer to work with individuals of all ages and have experience working with children as young as 3 and adults well into their 80’s. I am open to working with all realms of mental illness however, I do not have an interest in working with substance use. Anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, ADHD, trauma (complex), are so of the most common diagnosis I have worked with.

I have an eclectic and strength based approach that I use with my patients. I have a relaxed yet direct communication style that is received by my patients as sincere and caring. I truly want to help my clients reach their goals and learn to live the best life they can. I have experience working with patients in rural Appalachia and understand the culture. I also enjoy the great outdoors, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.
