24 years of experience
Are you struggling with anxiety, depression or psychosis? Are you immune compromised, have a chronic condition or have body dysmorphia? Have you had a significant loss in your life? Let’s work on it together. The foundation of therapy is an open and honest relationship. I provide a judgment-free environment. We will work together at your pace. Everyone is capable of change. Treatment is integrative and tailored to your individual needs. Let's navigate your therapy journey together. I love mixing therapy and discussing games together to find ways to help you be successful in overcoming your challenges. If playing a game in therapy would be helpful for you, let's talk about what works best for you. I am often told that my sessions don't feel like therapy but a friendly conversation.
During your first session with me, we will be working to find out if we are a good match personality-wise as well as treatment-wise. This may also include scheduling options. Therapy is tailored at your pace, don't feel pressured to talk about everything in detail in our first or first several sessions until you are ready. Trust takes time, therapy takes time to work through any challenges you may be having.
I have experience with loss and grief, anxiety, depression and trauma-related stress. I have personal experience with anxiety and depression. I have worked to help individuals improve coping skills, boundaries, gender issues, career guidance, pet loss, and school/work stressors to name a few. I work with adults of all ages on an individual basis. I primarily use CBT, Strength-based, and solution-focused therapy.
I feel like taking therapy at your pace is one of my strengths. We will find coping strategies that work for you, those can be unique to you. Don't be anxious about your first session, it will be a back-and-forth conversation we will have together.
18 years of age or older. I am open to teen agers 15/16 or older as long as they are engaged in therapy and are willing to talk.
