Everyone needs and deserves health in all forms. I believe therapy is no different than medical treatment or dental care. People often don't want to pursue therapy because they don't think their discomfort is enough to warrant the expense. Sometimes they feel they should just tough it out. Others think it only applies to those in crises. Whether the sessions are many or few, therapy can make a big difference in how you feel about yourself and how you relate to others. Emotional health is an investment in your quality of life.
Although I work with various issues including anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict, I specialize in treating Autism related challenges, neurodiverse couples and teens. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques to help people reach their goals and create a fulfilling life.
While it may seem scary to share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with someone new, my hope is we can work together to support your mental health goals in an open, compassionate space.
