If you are finding that worries, fears, feeling too little or feeling too much are keeping you from living the life you want help is available. Whether it's adjusting to big changes in your life, dealing with fears and worries that seem like they have always been there, or struggling to make and keep relationships help is available. Most of us get stuck at some point in our life and need someone to support and guide us to get back on track.
I take a solution-focused and cognitive-behavioral approach to facilitating change that is informed by ACT and DBT. By understanding your strengths and needs I can help you make problems smaller and more manageable. I work with individuals, families, and schools to promote safe and healthy living. Initial 30 minute consultation is free.
You've made the first step- looking for help. Take the next step and see if I'm the right person to give you that help.
