Great to meet you!

Is life getting the best of you? Feeling stressed, overwhelmed & alone? Why try to figure life out on your own? I'm a CBT and Existential counselor (LGBTQ+ affirming) dedicated to helping you improve ways of managing life difficulties. Those difficulties may include major life changes, grief/loss, guilt/shame, financial stress, work stress, persistent worry or relationship issues. I have specialized training with Veterans and First Responders Responders. I have decades of experience working with families in addiction. My own life experience with trauma and substance abuse has shown me how hard change can be. Please let me help.

I want to hear what's going on in your life. I want to know what areas of life you want to change or improve. We can work together to get you to a place in life where YOU want to be!

I offer online video and telephone counseling, which allows you to stay safely in your home while we are meeting. I have a casual approach and consider each of us as part of a team, working for the same goal.

My approach to therapy

I believe in a holistic approach, which includes the mind, body, and spirit. The whole person needs to heal for success. And I do believe everyone can heal. I work with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, substance abuse, and general life situations. If you're searching for purpose in life then please reach out.

What you can expect from me

Hope. You can expect hope that together, we can help you help yourself.
