You don't have to go through difficult times alone. By seeking help, you have already taken the first step toward making positive life changes. The next step is finding the right person to guide, motivate and support you. I am a counselor with a healthy dose of optimism and realism. I love to work with my clients on problem solving, new skill building, and developing a greater understanding of themselves and the world around us. If you are looking for something "different" from your counselor, I may be a good fit.
I work with clients on a variety of issues, including: Grief, Trauma, Neurodiversity, Parenting and Caretaker Fatigue, Anxiety, Depression, Infertility, Relationships, Sexual Issues, Relationship Discernment and Life Transitions. I offer a safe, non-judgmental counseling style, so you can always feel comfortable sharing your stories and struggles.
A note to LGBTQIA+ Clients: I am not only a Queer-friendly therapist; I am LGBTQIA+ informed. If this is a component of treatment for you, or part of who you are, get yourself qualified help.
