Whatever life situations you are navigating right now, arriving at this moment is likely a success of its own that didn't happen simply or easily. I'm glad you've made it through to this point, and I look forward to talking with you more about how I can help support you in exploring whatever is feeling difficult, painful, or uncomfortable. My goal is to provide you with therapeutic supports that are rooted in respect and care. A space where you can trust being able to explore your circumstances, strengths, goals, needs, and life journey without judgement. Creative tools and strategies that help you find your way to ease of mind. While I am able to work with clients around many other issues, these areas are where I have more extensive specialty based on education, training, and experience. There are a mix of internal and external factors that I help individuals identify so we can develop strategies to more smoothly navigate life. As we begin, I use a person-centered and strengths-based approach. Meaning my focus is how you describe what brought you in to therapy and the unique set of strengths that helped you get this far. From there, we'll talk about your goals and treatment methods that might work best. Being a human is weird, complex, and often messy. You deserve to feel proud of the progress you've made and the efforts you're investing. Let me know what questions or feedback you have as we get started, and I look forward to getting to know you.
