Are you struggling with a life change? Are you feeling stuck, are you experiencing sadness, worry, stress, low self-esteem, or lack of confidence? Do you want to understand yourself better? Are you a young adult, entering a new world of responsibilities? Therapy can help! Starting therapy can feel strange... You're sharing very personal things with a stranger which can be scary and intimidating. I believe that a trusting rapport is most important in a therapeutic relationship and will always spend the time needed to help you to feel comfortable, regardless of how long it takes.
I provide an accepting, supportive, positive, and compassionate environment where I strive for you to feel comfortable to be yourself and say it like it is. I will meet you where you're at and support you in gaining the confidence and skills to get to where you want to be, keeping your preferences, values, and culture at the forefront of our work together.
We all need a little something extra from time to time. I work with teenagers (ages 13-17) and adults (ages 18-59), helping them to reach their goals, even if they aren't entirely sure what those goals are or how to get there. We will tease it out together! If you are ready to make a change or just need to process some things, please call or email me!
