Making the decision and moving forward with seeking therapy is a huge step and usually, it’s the biggest challenge in therapy. From the moment you step through my door, you’ve already got someone in your corner. I take pride in offering a supportive, calm, accepting, and safe environment for my clients. Today’s environment makes it more difficult for us to find ways to create healthy coping skills. We will work together to identify thought patterns and behaviors, process your emotions, and explore your values and beliefs. We’ll build those healthy coping skills together. It may not always be easy, but it will certainly be worth it.
My education and experience has given me the ability to provide counseling in multiple areas such as depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, family issues, teen/adolescent issues, child issues, ASD, ADHD, and others. In addition, I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) that provides ABA to clients with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Our practice is designed to be an inviting environment to address the wide range of needs and backgrounds to assist my clients. It is very important to remember, we all struggle sometimes—we just have to know when to ask for help. I would love the opportunity to see how I could be of assistance to you.
