If you have landed on this page, odds are you (or a loved one) are suffering. Reading this? Good for you. You've already made an effort towards healing, change, the life you desire... and you are worth it. Humans suffer. Yeah, we're resilient beings. Yeah, we're tough... and also, yeah, we still need help sometimes. Finding a good fit with a counselor can be difficult. Yet, for counseling to be effective, it is crucial that the relationship between counselor and client be one of trust, empathic care, and understanding.
My style is empathic, direct, and collaborative. You are the expert on your life. My role is to listen with curiosity, encourage, offer insight, and provide direction (including education and resources). I'm adept at supporting folks with mood instability, high-risk urges (suicide, self-harm), non-traditional relationships, LGBTQIA+ experiences, and grief.
I am down-to-earth and calm. Assertive while empathic; encouraging without enabling. I pride myself on a strong sense of humor, and will no doubt bring laughter, sarcasm, and a matter-of-fact demeanor into our work. Reach out to me... let's see if we're a fit. Give yourself the opportunity to find your fortitude - courage in adversity. You deserve it.
