Holly is passionate about personal growth and improving relationships. She believes that all human connections (romantic, family, and interpersonal) are worthy of the energy it takes to make them better. Sometimes this means improving your relationship with yourself. Holly recently transitioned from being a High School Counselor to Mental Health Counselor; she has extensive knowledge in career counseling and academic coaching. Working with Adolescents: Adolescence can be a time of significant emotional, mental, and physical change. Responses to these changes are often expressed through low self-esteem, impulsive or risk-taking behaviors, struggling peer connections, and low academic performance, to name a few. Holly is well-versed in the challenges that adolescents face throughout various stages of development; she speaks their language and provides the emotional safety and support that they need. Working with Couples: Sometimes you may feel burned out or frustrated with fights and perpetual problems. Others may be missing that spark, the connection that has been replaced with loneliness and confusion. Your goals may be to improve communication, increase intimacy with your partner, or adjust to life changes that are causing a chasm in your relationship. Couples counseling is a step in the right direction. I can help your partnership find some relief, and hopefully, resolve some of your relationship concerns. Working with Families: Blended and non-traditional families are increasingly more commonplace. With personal and professional experience in this arena, Holly aims for her clients to have families function through enriched, healthy communication and new experiences, rather than just “getting along.” Allow her to guide your steps for improving communication skills and overall interpersonal growth.
