In my work at Innovative Psychological Consultants I know that finding the right connection and fit is one of the most important things in therapy and counseling. I work hard to understand the individual needs of each client. Many people simply need a safe place to process and bounce around ideas. Others are looking for specific tools to help move them in a certain direction. We work together to figure out what will be best for you and how to get there.
I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults and am able to connect in a way that helps them feel safe and comfortable. I work with a lot of parents on how best to work with their teens and adults to address issues with anxiety, depression, and stress. I also have specialized training in working with LGBTQ populations.
Realizing it's time to address issues is the first step. Reaching out and setting something up takes great courage, but is also very empowering. Conquering yourself is one of the greatest conquests we can undertake. Life is too short to be unhappy.
