Great to meet you!

I am offering distance counseling by phone, video conferencing or text messaging. I am happy to offer services to those facing stress, depression, anxiety, and general confusion. All people possess strengths and effective strategies to address their own problems. Let's find your unique abilities together.

My approach to therapy

My approach is solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based and neurobiological. I have particular experience with treating anxiety and trauma.

What you can expect from me

I am happy to work with you on your issues in a climate of empathy and understanding. I support clients of all races, religions, ethnicity, gender id, sexual orientation, age, body type, and socioeconomic status. If you hold prejudicial views toward specific groups of people, I will work with you to change those views.
