I have enormous respect for those who have the courage to ask for help. When working with people I create an environment which fosters safety and comfort in a way that is respectful. My goal is to really listen and gain an understanding of you as an individual while keeping in mind the broader systems that impact us all. We will work to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and/or stories that get in the way of feeling happy and content or that may be inhibiting relationships. Together, we will identify personal strengths and build on them while developing skills to live a life with more meaning and fulfillment. I work with adults and older adolescents to address issues including: stress, anxiety, depression, trauma (PTSD), relationship issues, life transitions, work difficulties and behavioral issues .
