I may consult with school districts for the purpose of wrap around care and educational history when working with children. Most of my sessions are now provided virtually.

My goal is to provide professional, respectful, and nonjudgmental services to help you achieve your personal goals surrounding any challenges you may be facing regarding stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, motivation, social anxiety, self esteem, or confidence. My approach is client-centered with solution-focused techniques and sometimes behavior modification through goal-oriented problem-solving. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as well as therapy for trauma and/or grief/loss are also modalities that are utilized such as DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). Trauma informed practices and teaching mindfulness /conscious awareness, are highly valued in my practice. I believe in each person's journey, which is unique to you. There are no finite time constraints or provisions written in stone which will guarantee success. However, please know that your effort means something! The fact that you are here, speaks volumes. Progress takes time, and there are no guarantees of exactly what you will experience as a result of being in therapy, due to each individual level of response, commitment and effort into the journey. Anger, sadness, and disappointment can arise from the process, these feelings can be addressed and integrated as part of the healing journey. We will collaborate, to identify your personal goals that can projected into some short term time periods, utilizing various techniques and strategies.
