Carl Jung once said, "One day You will grow up and the world will ask you who You are. If You don't know who you are, the world will quickly tell You." I believe the active choices we make, play a crucial role in shaping our sense of personal satisfaction, emotional confidence, and overall well-being. Changing the story, you tell about yourself, can have a profound impact on how difficult or easy the next few years of your life will be. Will Your story be one of courage, conviction and personal empowerment, or a repetitive tale of powerlessness? Will it be a story of accountability and healing, or shame? You are the only with the power to decide you matter. Empower Your voice. Redesign and refine...Choose freedom.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the first session we will spend time getting to know you, your current concerns, and any historical issues that might be compounding the present concerns. I want you to feel comfortable and right at home. The initial assessment includes discussing past mental health/healthcare issues, such as substance abuse, suicidal ideation, other medical concerns, family history, work, childhood, and most importantly, what makes you feel happiest.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am compassionate, informed, COMMITTED, experienced, funny and welcoming. And, I can't wait to meet you!

VirtualMy treatment methods
Attachment-based
Welcome to counseling! I am a dedicated therapist who offers an authentic, collaborative, and affirming approach to healing. Rooted in psychodynamic theory, my work is also integrative, incorporating techniques from various modalities to best support each client's unique journey. I strive to understand individuals within the broader context of their relationships, environments, and experiences while keeping the therapeutic process centered on their specific needs and goals. In addition to therapy, I provide Human Rights advocacy support, coaching and psychological assessments to evaluate cognitive and emotional-social functioning. Whether through advocacy, therapy or coaching, my goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel understood, empowered, and equipped with the tools they need for growth and self-discovery.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Welcome to counseling! Using ACT counseling and education, I will support you to live in the value system you design for yourself. I use humor, and a Wise-Mind Approach to help connect you to the value tools you already posses!!
