I CARE! I work to work with you to find that all inclusive balance to bring the joy back into your life. Life can be hard with all that it can entail Mental health affects individuals of all ages, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds. My emphasis is on a solution-focused approach to counter feelings of hopelessness, or the key variants identified in your disorder. Rather than focusing solely on pathology, I aim to highlight your competence and address various factors that may be affecting your mental wellness. I acknowledge you as the expert.
Get to know me as I get to know you. An introductory session that focuses on your needs. I commonly draw from evidence based tools to work to find the problem. Once we decide to work together, WE not me, will work to find the right fit for your therapeutic journey. Whatever you need, I am prepared to provide support.
