We all reach points in our lives where we experience increased stress and vulnerability. Regardless of our age, circumstances, or experience, we can feel hopeless and disconnected from the world. This can lead to a number of issues including substance abuse, depression, anxiety, impulsivity and poor decision making, unsafe behaviors, and even suicidal thinking and behavior. We all deserve to feel good about ourselves, be connected to the people who care about us, have healthy relationships, and be pursuing meaningful life goals. With the proper support we're all capable of doing so.
I have worked with hundreds of clients in a variety of settings, and over nearly 20 years have enjoyed supporting individuals, families, and couples. By focusing on communication, unpacking feelings, and prioritizing strengths, I support clients in developing a healthier sense of self and pursuing the goals that are important to them.
I am accepting new clients to meet via telehealth. Please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm eager to offer my experience to adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and families seeking support.
