Currently Accepting New Clients! Are you feeling stuck, unsure how to move forward in life? Do you see yourself following the same unhealthy patterns with the same negative results? Are you ready to take the first step in creating a new, healthier life? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, I would like to have the opportunity to work with you.
My approach to therapy is looking at each client as an individual. I believe that each person has their own path through life. My hope is to offer some guidance and tools for your journey to make your life the one you WANT to live. I don't believe in a "one size fits all" method to therapy, but generally use MI, CBT, DBT, and trauma informed care.
Life can be difficult, confusing, and painful at times. There is no shame in reaching out to help get some clarification, support, and/or education on how to manage it all. I encourage you to call/email to schedule an appointment today.
