Meet Ruby
Outside the office, I'm passionate about camping and dogs. My dog, Ruby, often joins me in office to help clients who are feeling anxious. If you'd rather not have a dog in the room, just let me know — Ruby is happy to sit that session out.
Attendance is always optional for clientsValues
Life is a series of ups and downs.
I work with couples and individuals who are going through major transitions in their lives and relationships. Symptoms that manifest as a result of the life transition are lack of trust, anxiety, depression, grief, and poor communication.
I counsel my clients from a strength‑based, direct, and honest approach. My practice consists of clients from various ethnic, spiritual, and cultural backgrounds.
