Therapy should be a place where you feel safe to divulge your darkest secrets while knowing that the person that you confide in, will not only support your journey of self-improvement and healing but help guide you like a beacon in the sea or a flashlight when it’s dark. And because of this, we think that finding the RIGHT therapist is one of the most crucial parts of the therapeutic process... I work to help you solve a variety of issues and welcome and host safe spaces for active duty /retired veterans and their dependents, college students, LGBTQ+, POC, and older adults.
The work that I perform is centered around a solution-focused approach which is a model that is goal driven. I work closely to understand the goals of my clients and mutually figure out the best way to move forward to obtain your desired outcome. This goal directed approach is respectful to you and your life style and is tailored to fit your needs.
I don’t know if I will be the perfect fit for you, but I do know that I am willing to take the time to find out. And if I am a good fit for you please know that I am committed to helping you in your journey of healing.
