**Accepting New Clients** Everyone faces challenges now and then. Through a non-judgmental, encouraging, and peaceful therapeutic environment, I help clients find ways to overcome those challenges. I have worked with a diverse population, and I believe that everyone has the power to make positive change. I work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy and strengths-based approaches in my work. However, I understand that each client is unique; thus, I try to utilize therapy models that I believe will work best with the client's needs and presenting issues.

My approach to therapy is direct and solution-oriented, with a balancing measure of warm support and compassion. It is a priority that you feel safe and understood here. I will also appropriately and respectfully challenge you at times; you did not come to therapy to keep things the same. I act as a mirror, helping to identify and reflect back to you things that you may be unaware of that are contributing to the problem. With this new insight, we then decide what kind of action may be needed, wanted, and/or possible. Sometimes insight and understanding alone are enough; other cases require more.

I believe that human beings have an amazing ability to adapt to extremely difficult situations, but sometimes using old coping strategies can encourage toxic situations at home or at work. When the tendency to accommodate others and the desire for approval goes unchecked, we betray our authentic sense of self and undermine our success. This is particularly true with adults suffering from symptoms related to childhood trauma, addiction, and those who have had to "mask" due to neurodivergent experience. Using evidenced based treatment, I work with adults and couples to create their best lives.

That your emotions, trauma, pain, past experiences and anxiety are preventing you from living the life you are meant to live? Or perhaps things are just not clicking no matter how hard you try? The good news is that there is always a way, a technique or perspective that can and will shift you and your life. The catch? You need to be willing to step into the unknown and get uncomfortable.
