My clients come to me with real-world problems and a genuine desire to heal and recover from their related emotional and psychological injuries. They may suffer from symptoms of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and/or substance use, and often they do not have a mental health diagnosis. Sometimes these symptoms can lead to feelings and perceptions of not belonging, burdensomeness, not being valued or loved, guilt and/or shame, or being trapped by life circumstances. These feelings can erode life meaning, often leading to thoughts of suicide or premature death. My clients gain validation, support and direction to heal and recover.
Myriad circumstances and stressors impact an individual's quality of life, happiness, sense of purpose and overall wellbeing. The conditions and disorders that often lie below the surface include truama, anxiety, depression, loneliness, suicidal inclinations and substance use; I am uniquely educated and skilled to help with these and many other conditions.
First and foremost, I want to understand you, your situation and related problems, and how they are affecting your psychological wellbeing. While gathering this information, I will be respectful, nonjudgment, and supportive, with the aim of building hope and renewed direction, as you identifiy and achieve a meaningful path to mental health and recovery.

Initially, we focus on recent events and stressors and how my client is coping with these, which leads to a holistic assessment. As assessment transitions to treatment, my clients develop treatment goals that build on strengths, including coping skills, that ultimately instill confidence, hope and direction. Next, evidence-informed therapies, tailored to client needs and preferences, are employed.
