My ideal client comes from many walks of life. They are children, teenagers, and adults and present with anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, relationship and family problems, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), school problems, and oppositional-defiant disorder. They all share a common need to be heard, empowered, and guided on the path of recovery. I provide evidence-based treatments tailored to the needs of my clients. I focus on strengths and capabilities rather than "illness."

All of us experience times in our lives when we are overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. These times should not define us. When these times arise, we need someone to listen to everything that is being said as well as hearing what is not being said. The ability to work through these tough times is necessary for all of us with the goal of being stronger as a result.

Life is complicated, and for every one of us, there comes a time when we feel lost, alone, or trapped in our circumstances. Whether we are struggling with depression and anxiety, having trouble in a relationship, or weighing heavy questions of our identity and where we fit into the world, sometimes we can't just figure things out on our own. For people in the LGBTQ+ community, couples, and nonmonogamous people, there can be even more challenges to navigate. We all need someone to listen to us, help us untangle the messy bits, and work with us to improve our lives.

Anxiety and depression can rob an individual from feeling like themselves. When we are in a dark place in our life it can become hard to open up to others and find the light that we are so desperately seeking. Often the goal becomes finding ways to cope effectively, especially when it comes to loss, trauma and grief. The biggest question becomes, "How do I get better?" You took the first step in asking for help! The rest will follow.
