I offer mental health therapy, performance improvement, and solution-focused career/educational counseling. Treatment emphasizes improvement of coping skills, emotion management, self-esteem, and wellness. You want a welcoming environment to address thought/emotion patterns and their influence on behavior. You are a client who wants to gain insight, make meaning, & take action toward your future. I will create opportunity for mindful reflection & give you the tools to become a more effective manager of your own life, whether that is addressing mental health, making career/education decisions, or increasing confidence.

I am trained in behavior therapy approaches & EMDR for grief/trauma work. I help individuals work through ADHD, anxieties, & other mental health needs to live more freely & joyfully. For career/educational counseling, our work is to create space for self-exploration & decision-making to increase life satisfaction. Please review my website for detailed info.

The journey you are on is not an easy one, & here you are exploring what is possible! That is amazing & takes a lot of courage! Whether you are desiring mental health therapy or exploring career/education directions, I will walk alongside & support you in working through barriers/conflicts while also celebrating your wins! I look forward to working with you.
