You want to talk about what's on your mind, but it's tough. You don't want someone to try to 'fix' you, give you unwanted advice, or make you feel judged. You want a confidential space where you can talk things out, reflect, and really be heard. I believe that you have a strong desire to grow and succeed within you, no matter how buried or blocked. You don't need people to tell you what to do, but maybe a space to slow down and make sense of things. I specialize in working with grad students, ADHD, men's issues, and relationship and interpersonal concerns. I also frequently provide support to other therapists.
My style is warm and collaborative, conversational, and goal-oriented. I offer a safe, confidential space to talk through what’s on your mind, work through distress. I integrate person-centered, humanistic therapy along with a Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) model to work on key skills for change to help you be the best version of yourself.
People of all sexualities, gender identities, races, and sizes are welcome in my practice. Call or email me if you have any questions or to schedule a free brief initial consultation. I look forward to hearing from you.
