In Holly's Own Words
"As a counselor, my goal is to offer a comfortable, supportive, and yet lovingly challenging environment to help individuals develop self-awareness and attain the personal growth for which they strive. Having resiliently overcome challenges in my own life, I have always sought to understand the mind and the factors behind the choices people make. As I continued to follow my heart's intentions and grow in my passion for working in the field of mental health, I knew I was called to help others with their own struggles. Through my work with a variety of clients, including court-ordered clients and people with severe mental illness, I have developed a strong and dedicated skillset in working with a vast array of clients from a place of compassion, empathy, and genuine caring in order to assist individuals, couples, and families in overcoming life's greatest challenges."
