Reaching out is the first step, I'm glad you're here. My work ranges from treating stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, to other specific personal and relational issues. I am passionate about adolescent neural development, embracing neurodiversity (ADHD, Autism, etc.), body acceptance, attachment theory, and working to break family cycles of trauma. I will work with you to establish goals that are driven by you, for you. I am an active listener who is also willing and ready to offer insight and point out potential problem areas with permission. You will make the change-I can help you see it.

I can provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Rational-Emotive Therapy, Existential-Humanistic Therapy, and DBT. As with many other modern counselors, I avoid a one-size-fits-all approach and often offer a blend of methods depending on what is determined to be the best approach for each client.
There are no bad questions, there is no one whose situation is beyond hope. If you're willing and ready, let's start working on improving your self-concept and continuing your journey to a healthier mindset today. I will listen, focus on your therapy goals, meet you where you are, moving to where you want to go.
