My interest in the mental health field began with exploring the connection between the mind and physical movement and the effects on one’s overall well-being, as well as the importance of a positive self-concept. My experience includes working with adults ranging from ages 18 to 96, addressing a variety of concerns such as depression, anxiety, life stage transitions, aging and disability, relationship challenges, substance issues, and the effects of traumatic experiences on quality of life. I understand that therapy is most effective when grounded in the client’s sense of comfort and trust. I often embrace the concept of “being comfortable with being uncomfortable,” prioritizing collaboration, rapport building, and a client-centered approach within the therapeutic process.
