Great to meet you!

The most common issue people have is learning how to get their needs met appropriately and effectively. We're all human, and all humans have wants and needs they seek. The key is in the right methods. Feeling stuck? Feeling stressed? Looking for a solution, a strategy, a way out, or maybe just any measure of support? Pull up a chair. Let's talk. I don't have all the answers, but I do know ways to find them.

Life is hard. When life throws you problems, the solution is found within. That's why I call my practice "Inner Strength Counseling." I'm here to activate your inner strength and teach the skills to use it wisely. Confidence is power, and power is the ability to make something happen. So, let's make something happen. And we'll do it together.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in CBT, Functional Behavioral Analysis, Solution-based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, LGBT issues, and Strengths-based approaches. I specialize in anything from anxiety and depression - to anger and conflict - to shame and regret. For 10 years, I've worked in outpatient, inpatient, & residential settings.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is all about giving you the space to feel safe, comfortable, and natural. This is your time to share your story and the goals you are looking to achieve.
