Whether you are struggling with the ups and downs of bipolar disorder, struggling to follow through on life goals due your ADHD, getting overwhelmed by panic and anxiety at work, or failing to create stable romantic relationships, I can provide you with the tools to cope and thrive. I want to be there to support you during this process. We all get overwhelmed and new challenges can emerge, coping skills cease working, and new skills need developing. Successful therapy starts with the formation of the counselor-client bond. Therapy is a supportive relationship outside your network of friends and family. A non-judgmental alliance is fostered. Still, there is a place in counseling for holding a person to account, and I walk that tightrope well. Psychic injuries, biological dispositions, familial and life experiences shape our present. The past affects how we relate to others and why we carry wounds into the present. New and old life events can lead to self-destructive coping. Therapy can equip you with strategies to manage and be more in control of your life.

I practice an integrative approach to counseling informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Attachment theory. Along with the concerns above, other areas of concentration include improving self esteem, increasing assertiveness, and improving interpersonal relationships. Together, we can explore how therapy can help you achieve your goals. I've helped many clients overcome depression, build stronger relationships, and achieve greater personal fulfillment in many areas of life.

Our counseling experience starts with a no-fee 15-30 minute phone consultation. I have few standard questions, and we will have time a back and forth conversation about your concerns. I will share my sense of expertise in your areas of concerns. If you feel alignment, we will set up our one hour telehealth intake session. Together, we can explore how therapy can help you achieve your goals.
