At Don-Positive Change Therapy, I help you to identify the challenges and plan and implement the solutions that allow you to function in the world in a way that is right for you. I believe this is your journey, and aI m honored to be able to help you achieve the balance in life you deserve. If you are looking for a positive change in your life, then you have come to the right place. We all have times when we experience symptoms, be it anxiety, depression, trauma, or things that just don't feel right. I am trained and experienced in a variety of therapeutic modalities supporting individuals, couples, adolescents, parenting, and family systems. With a focus on language, communication, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and emotions, you will be on a path toward balance and positivity. Whether you are experiencing challenges with work or life, you can learn how to manage the things you can control, "you!"

I am here to guide, support, and provide you with the necessary tools to succeed.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is referred to as an "Intake." This is designed to gather the necessary information to best support you with therapy.
