My Approach
I take a collaborative and integrative approach to wellness. By combining aspects of nutrition, fitness, mental health, along with the option of developing a spiritual foundation, I will assist you in creating a fulfilling life where you can embrace all aspects of your journey.
I cater a wellness plan to fit your needs. If you are more interested in just talk therapy, this is an option. While I am not a licensed therapist, I do hold a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and have over 400 hours of experience working as a therapist trainee to obtain my degree. I have studied psychology my entire life, and while I do not practice diagnosis and treatment of mental illness, I feel confident in my abilities to assist you.
