I have enormous respect for those who 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. 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 adolescents to address issues including: stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, family challenges, life transitions, work difficulties, behavioral issues and gender identity. I will work with you to develop a toolbox of coping skills to help manage difficult emotions and challenges.
