Great to meet you!

Meet your atypical guide – embracing life's curveballs, I've tried it all, from a failed aquaponics farm to navigating a foreign internship. Even tackled Dungeons and Dragons Therapy (still a work in progress). With 16 years in social work, specializing in trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, and addiction, let's explore new paths and make life lighter. Ready for this journey? Let's roll the dice and take that first step together. Adventures await in this life campaign!

A bit about my approach to therapy

Easy, I specialize in Solution Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. the therapy approach I dislike? Loading you up with coping skills and sending you out the door – not my style. Solution Focused Therapy is my dream because I’m working with you 100% in your corner I’m like Mickey Goldmill Rocky’s coach cheering you on!- Thank you google- helping you uncover your strength, courage, and skills you're already rocking.

What you can expect from our first session

Things change tremendously when you put the word “maybe” in front of a sentence “Maybe I CAN do this. Maybe I am stronger than I thought I was. Maybe there’s hope for me yet! My goal is to 1. Help you feel valued and appreciated. 2. Not pull my punches- but help you dig a little, Therapy is like exercise, you gotta push yourself, but when you’re starting out, it’s better for that jog to be more of a leisurely stroll-Hey! It still counts😉!
