Whether seeking therapy or Clinical Supervision the the learning/ change process doesn't have to be complicated/ unpleasant. "Not sure what to do"? "Need someone to talk to"? Who doesn't? An objective unbiased outside view on anything can be helpful for anyone/ any situation- am I right? Your comfort comes first! I have the skills, experience, and tools to help you with whatever you need or help you figure out what it is you even need. Feel free to reach out to me even to discuss what therapy is about and how it works if it is something you never tried or even thought you could. We're in this together if you'll have me along
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I believe in focusing on the whole system that surrounds an issue. I have a toolbox full of an eclectic assortment of interventions such as CBT, 12-step, Behavioral Activation, Mindfullness based, Relationship counseling and much more. ** I am also vailable to provide ethical and effective clinical supervision. **
The #1 predictor of success in therapy is the relationship with the therapist. That happens to be my #1 focus! To ensure a convenient and comfortable environment for growth, I offer online counseling via video, asynchronous audio messages, and messaging, as well as evening and weekend hours!

“If you don't feel comfortable talking to me than we can't accomplish anything! My first priority is that rapport in therapy or supervision. ”
