Therapy isn't a "quick fix" but is worth the emotional labor, time, and commitment to see the kind of changes you want to see in your life. Therapy should NOT be stressful or something you dread. Will it be hard work? Yes. Will it be uncomfortable at times? Yes. I make every effort to make sure the experience is as enjoyable and satisfactory as possible to ensure that therapy will be something you can stick with through the growing pains and tough sessions. My hope is that you walk every from every meeting feeling heard and having worked on a new skill as well as developed a renewed hope for your future. Please reach out to me directly via email at [email protected] with questions!

My theoretical approach is one that is client-centered; our interactions will be focused on how to help you with your challenges, with you taking the lead in order to promote increased self-awareness, confidence, and overall improved functioning/emotional well-being. I incorporate principles of motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and cognitive behavioral tenets as well draw upon real life examples to enhance the counseling experience (and humor!)
