I use a variety of treatment modalities including CBT, client-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior therapy, existential therapy, and many more to help clients to cope with many issues including anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, employment issues, addictions/substance abuse, LGBTQ2+ related issues, relationship issues/alternative relationships, family issues, PTSD, ASD, bi-polar disorders, and dual diagnosis. I believe in treating every client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
