Many people struggle with substance use, depression, anxiety, stress, life changes or relationship difficulties, but don't have the skills or support needed to handle them in a healthy way. Counseling is simply a time for personal reflection with a professional who can help guide you towards positive growth and change. During counseling sessions, I will help you explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe and supportive environment, providing you the insight and awareness needed to move forward, instead of feeling stuck or helpless. Remember, you don't have to go through life's difficult situations alone. I believe therapy works best when there is a genuine therapeutic alliance. Clients work with me at their pace on building insight, practicing acceptance, challenging unhelpful thought & behavior patterns, and learning skills to improve their self-care & coping. It’s important to meet someone where they are at, and together, we can work to explore your needs. I'm not just a therapist; I'm a human who understands the twists and turns that life can throw our way. Together, we'll navigate those murky waters at your pace with empathy, understanding, and a touch of humor when needed. I value a non-judgmental approach over all else and will offer you unconditional positive regard. I look forward to working with you!
