I enjoy working with those who are leery about seeking help, have had bad counseling experiences in the past, or feel coerced in to treatment. I believe that all humans have greatness within themselves; it's important to work with a therapist who sees yours (even if you or others do not). I strive to make you feel comfortable so you can be honest with me - and yourself - about your problems, mood complaints, or substance use. Often individuals already know what needs to happen, but don’t know how to get there. Sometimes your goals are different than those that others have for you. And sometimes you just need to vent in a safe environment. I will meet you where you are, while also guiding you to where you want to be.
