years, including inpatient psychiatric hospitals, community mental health agencies, and private practice settings. I help adults struggling with various addictions, anxiety/depression, and/or LGBTQ+ issues to become the best version of yourself.

First session

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Strengths

I utilize a variety of techniques in therapy, trying to find what will work best for you. Person-centered, Person-focused. These techniques are likely to include dialogue, cognitive reframing, awareness exercises, visualization, journal keeping, drawing, and/or reading books. Ultimately, I am here to help you work through what is happening and achieve your identified goals. I provide a judgement and shame free space. I can help turn your vulnerabilities into your strengths.

Ideal clients

Do you find difficulty in approaching feelings or thoughts that you have tried not to think about because they may be painful? Making changes in your beliefs or behaviors can be scary and sometimes disruptive to the relationships you already have. It's important to consider carefully whether these risks are worth the benefits to you of changing. Most people who take these risks find it beneficial.

Treatment methods

Eclectic

I pull from a variety of treatment methods, including trauma-informed, Rogerian (aka person centered), CBT, DBT, solution focused, and more. The methods used depended on the person, the issues being worked on, and what combination will work best.
