Great to meet you!

You don't have to be so stressed. I am a master's level, licensed counselor with 17+ years of experience in private practice and other settings. I will complete an initial assessment with you, suggest a treatment plan based on that, and walk you through a therapeutic process so you're not alone.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I approach therapy with my excavation hat on. I will ask a lot of questions so that I can get to know you and your concerns. We will make a treatment plan and do the work together so that you feel relief, helped, and resolution. Life doesn't get easier, but you can become wiser. I'm happy to discuss and process what you need to make it through your concerns.

What you can expect from our first session

My clients report to me that my sessions are down-to-earth, candid, thought-provoking, helpful, and life-changing. I like to use what works, at a pace that people can digest. We will write things down, do homework, and relentlessly stay on task throughout the therapeutic journey. The takeaway is usually: you're more powerful than you realized.
