About My Clients

I offer virtual psychotherapy to adolescents and adults with a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns. I have worked extensively with people struggling with mental illness and trauma as well as individuals struggling with life changes, grief, work stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, and low self esteem. I am experienced and trained in working with people with suicidal thoughts and self harm behavior. Your problems are not too big for me!

My Background and Approach

I utilize an integrative approach using techniques from a variety of therapies to help you work toward becoming the person you want to be and living a meaningful life. I am laid back and easy going. I have an interactive style and usually have resources and information to share with my clients during sessions. I often ask clients to practice what they learn and apply it to their day to day lives so that they can feel equipped with practical tools to help them reach their goals.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe my clients are the experts of their own lives and may need support and guidance through counseling to find new strength, growth, and hope. I believe that people really can get better - I've seen it over and over!
