You want to talk with someone who gets you.  You want therapy to actually improve your life.  

If you are ready to take the first step,  I am ready to hear your story.

It can be scary to reach out to a therapist for the first time. You want to know it will be  worth your time and  that your therapist  can actually help you.

I want you to know some things about me to get a sense of my personality, my areas of expertise, and how I can help you move forward to the life  you deserve.

What is it like to work with me?

Teens, their parents, and adults,  say I’m honest, compassionate, and direct. All of your emotions, and thoughts are safe with me, even the ones uncomfortable to you. Hopefully we will even had have some fun along the way and celebrate all the steps in your progress.

Here are some of the things you can expect in our work together.

I will help you listen deeply to your self, and this is the most important skill for you to recognize your needs. We will talk through  the action steps you will need to do to get to a place of more confidence, peace, and satisfying relationships.

There are treatment approaches and methods shown to be most effective in making progress with mental health challenges.  You can expect to  experience relief,  and growth, as we work together, through evidence based therapeutic methods, tailored to enhance your well-being.
