If you are a person struggling to find balance and a sense of direction, possibly related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, emotional eating, relationship/social concerns, discrimination, LGBTQI+, woman's concerns, identity concerns, ADHD or any otherwise ambiguous emotional presentation, I can help you discover the source of your struggle, the barriers to overcoming the struggles and the skills needed to progress and maintain growth. I complete bariatric and pain evaluations. I implement, if relevant, nutrition counseling as it relates to psychology, mood and behavior. I offer pain management and insomnia intervention.
I provide traditional individual psychotherapy that can take a slow and insight-oriented approach or, if a good fit, direct and structured skill building. I work with each person to understand what they want from therapy and what approach may work best for them. I work in a partnership with my clients. Their goals are my top priority.
Overall, when we work together, expect that I will show up to help you achieve your goals. I get excited about helping elevate people to their best selves. My passion for helping people shows in the growth I have observed among people who have made that choice. I look forward to working with you as well.
