Openings For M/W/F Virtual evenings 5:30pm-7:30pm or Saturday bi-weekly 12pm or 2pm. You want to feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life, but may be unsure where to start. You might be navigating life transitions, healing from past trauma, or seeking more effective ways to cope with stress. You're looking for a safe, understanding space where you can be yourself without judgement, explore your emotions, gain insight into your experiences and learn skills to navigate life's challenges. Together, we can help you reconnect with yourself, build your resilience, an create meaningful change you've been hoping for.
I have a person centered approach with counseling and adapt interventions based on the someone's stage of change and meeting them where they are at. I have experience working with both adolescents and adults in an outpatient and residential setting.
I understand the challenges of reaching out, making the first call, and hoping to find a comfortable fit, as you are inviting someone into the corners of your life, building trust, and allowing vulnerability. I offer a free 15 minute phone call consultation to answer any questions you have and help you find suitable treatment.
