With an empathic approach, I am comfortable working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I will work with you in providing skills, developing insight and clarification, help you to find peace. or just sit with you and your emotions without any judgement.
My specialty is working with adolescents/young adults/adults and families addressing challenging issues of substance use and behavior modification. My hope for any individual is that you leave the session feeling hopeful, empowered, and supported.
I provide evidence based therapy to individuals seeking a better understanding of themselves and a desire to improve their daily experiences. My style is warm, empathic, and curious, with a sprinkle of humor. My goal is to offer support while you step back just far enough to see the whole picture and find your balance.
It takes courage and motivation to ask for help. Life has stressors and not all of us learned how to cope or even how to ask for help. We often then find ourselves stuck while life is passing us by.
Whether you want to build coping strategies, or gain insight around unhealthy patterns, we will work together to uncover you resilience. Change can happen.
