Currently accepting telehealth referrals.

Greetings. I have been fortunate to engage in the mental health field for several years. Currently, I have my doctorate, and have earned two master’s degrees. My experiences have taken place in school settings, clinics, community mental health, and faith-based services. When working with clients, I believe that we have basic needs. We have needs for personal power, freedom, fun, survival, and secure connections (a choice-theory perspective). Sometimes these needs were not met or we have difficulty attending to them. I think that it is important to reflect upon what matters in your life, and what you consider to be your responsibility to achieve a flourishing life. Sometimes thoughts, insecurities, and behaviors can be taught, and they do not serve us in the best capacity. In those instances, I believe that humans are capable of learning new things. There is power and brevity in recognizing choices, and there is autonomy to choose how to engage with those circumstances through the collaborative process.
