I believe we are meant to thrive. One of my favorite things about counseling is that I get to assist people in coming to the realization of just how capable and amazing they really are. Beginning with the first appointment we work together to explore your needs and abilities. I work hard to provide you with a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental space where your sense of resilience can grow. I use techniques and interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and any other school of thought I come across that can help people. I am always looking for ways to improve and grow as a professional and as a person, and I encourage the same drive in my clients. If you would like to schedule an appointment, please contact me. Let's work through things together.
