With a firm belief in the uniqueness of each individual, I understand that no single theoretical approach can fully encapsulate the rich tapestry of human experiences throughout life. Drawing from a diverse range of treatment methods, I tailor my approach to create effective treatment plans for each person. I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and healing environment where the therapeutic relationship can flourish. This environment is characterized by collaboration, trust, respect, genuineness, and a holistic understanding of my clients, their backgrounds, and the world they inhabit, fostering a personalized and comprehensive approach to healing and growth.

My major focus are humanistic treatment systems, such as client-centered, existential, gestalt, and emotion-focused therapy, is a testament to my commitment to a holistic and positive approach to therapy. Humanistic treatment systems indeed emphasize the innate goodness in each person and the importance of viewing individuals as a whole. Recognizing the self-actualization tendency in every individual highlights the potential for growth and personal development. Additionally, the emphasis on free will and the ability to make choices, coupled with the recognition of responsibility for those choices, is a fundamental aspect of humanistic therapy that empowers clients to take an active role in their own well-being and personal growth. My approach reflects a deep understanding of the human experience and a commitment to fostering positive change in my clients.

I am a true country girl at heart, finding solace and fulfillment in my deep connection with nature. My love and compassion for animals are boundless, as evidenced by my 17 rescue cats and faithful companion, Zelda Mae. My days and nights are filled with the joy of tending to my furry friends. But I’m not just a tender soul; I’m also a thrill-seeker, with a passion for dirtbike riding that runs as deep as my love for the outdoors. Currently, I am on the hunt for a new motorcycle, eager to embrace the adventures that await on the open trails, combining my rural roots with my spirit of adventure.
