Hello! I bring 18 years of mental health experience along for your sessions. I consider myself a generalist and I'm happy to help you with any need or concern that you might have. Some of the areas where I have the most experience are depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and grief and loss. Beginning Change Counseling is currently offering sessions for adolescents and couples. If you are under the age of 18 years old, please have your legal guardian contact us for a free consultation.
I work with almost all age groups but I excel when working with young adults. I have spent the majority of my career working in a University setting and have helped many college age adults make meaningful changes. I also specialize in men's issues and working with men that are struggling with communication in their interpersonal relationships.
We are happy to work with all clients and if we're not the best fit for you we will assist you with a referral, free of charge. We do not currently offer FMLA documentation but we are happy to provide documentation for an ESA.
