First session
We will start with brief introductions and then a discussion about the current challenges that has them seeking therapeutic support. We will review my policies for communication when we are outside of session and the expectations for support when or if a crisis arises.

I present a welcoming environment that has allowed adults to feel comfortable sharing and recognizing that their confidentiality will be maintained. I have vast experiences within many different public social settings and can help with sharing resources and opportunities to expand networks. I have the ability to help clients develop comprehensive plans and assess their progress.
Ideal clients
You’re a person in mid‑life navigating a season of change—career shifts, evolving relationships, aging parents, or a growing desire to redefine who you are. You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of your next steps, even though you’ve always been capable and resilient. You’re looking for a structured, supportive space where you can learn practical tools to manage stress, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and build confidence as you move into this next chapter with clarity and purpose.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I see this treatment modality as beneficial for clients because helps them to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that negatively impact their emotions and actions.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
Helps clients to find solutions to current challenges. Supports and empowers them to create positive change. I have found great success in the enhancement of a client's strengths and resources.
