I want counseling to be a positive and collaborative experience for everyone who steps through my door. I primarily work with adults and teens to address a variety of symptoms, including ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, intellectual disabilities, OCD, substance use, and more. Together, we will work toward embracing your differences and using your strengths to help accomplish your goals.
A little about me... I have two dogs that I talk about all the time, so you will definitely see pictures of them. I love to read and play puzzle games. I'm always 100% myself, so my quirkiness will definitely come out during our sessions!
I am an eclectic counselor, meaning that I use methods from a variety of disciplines based on each unique person. Some of the disciplines that I often draw from include DBT, ACT, and person-centered. I take a more direct approach to counseling. You are the expert in your own life, I am here to help you reach your full potential and achieve your goals.
My ultimate goal is to make you feel safe, comfortable, and free from judgement. Creating a space where you can be your true, authentic self is one of my top priorities. I believe that sessions should be a collaborative space full of honesty, genuineness, and even some humor at times. Therapy goes at your pace and we will find what works for you!
