I believe that everyone can heal with the support of therapy. My area of focus the last couple of years has been the treatment of substance use. I typically work with clients who struggle with substance use and are interested in reducing and stopping use. I feel most comfortable treating depression, anxiety, and substance use. I like clear, open communication. I think that when we can be open and honest with ourselves, we can learn the skills to express ourselves with others. I became a therapist because I wanted to help others like I was helped when I came out as queer.
I like to listen and share my impressions with clients and then collaboratively create goals. After creating the treatment, I like to check in with the client every so often about the progress made and what changes might need to be done in order to make the goals more reachable.
Clients should expect that I will present and listen to them.
