**NEW CLIENTS - Please email me** No one deserves to live in pain. For therapy to work, you need three things: curiosity about yourself and your interactions with others, an authentic connection with your therapist, and concrete, practical tools and skills to promote real and lasting change. My job is to facilitate an understanding of what is causing you pain and getting in your way of creating your best life. As your therapist, I don’t “just listen.” I use an integrative approach, combining several modalities to create the most effective treatment for each client. I practice remote therapy with individual adults.

Therapy sessions with NIO Counseling are a non-judgmental environment and the client is not just another client. The individual or family blazes the trail and we are in the accompanying seat in reaching the goal of therapy, through clinical guidance that encourages all to thrive during and after therapy sessions.

Anxiety, stress, fear, isolation, being overwhelmed, being out of control in everyday circumstances, and the feeling of loss or the unknown can be unbundled for a more productive and fulfilling living. Hope is here!

Life comes at us fast and we’re not always ready for it but that’s okay! I believe that we all crave connection with our peers, friends, family, and partners. And when we aren’t working on those connections, we’re working to build our connection with ourself. To fully work through that and make progress, I use a direct approach in helping clients address concerns that may arise from their connections with others or with themself. I believe that the most progress can be made when it’s accompanied with empathy and unconditional positive regard - two pillars of therapeutic work to foster growth and a sense of safety.
