The clients I serve are often at a crossroads in their life story and unsure of how to close one chapter and begin anew. Clients I enjoy working with recognize that counseling continues outside of the session in self reflection, exploring behavior change, and shifting how we think and relate to ourselves. I find that counseling helps meet goals and needs as diverse as the client, and sometimes goals arise throughout the course of the relationship. No one needs a "good reason" to come to counseling, for the desire to reach out and try will always be sufficient.

I am seeking clients who may be new to therapy done virtually, but want to give it a try. I understand how difficult it can be to take the first step to starting therapy. I am here to take the stigma away and help you to feel comfortable, safe and secure as you navigate through your life struggles through talk therapy.
