About My Clients

My style is a good fit for both adolescents and adults. I feel everyone has times in their life when social, emotional and relational challenges (to name a few), can make us feel stuck, scared and un-heard. Issues of anxiety, depression, life-transitions, eating disorders, self-worth, anger management, stress and substance abuse can really impact us in a negative way. Gaining the skills you need to move forward can have a life-changing outcome that will help you to feel.

My Background and Approach

My approach to working with you will be to build trust by getting to know one another, asking questions, and setting goals that we can track with measurable progress. I'm here to listen to you and be supportive of you, but we also want to make sure we are making tiny (or large), steps towards helping you to feel better! During our first session together we will spend the majority of our time with me listening, so you can tell me about how you've been feeling lately. I will be asking questions and making some brief notes. Our first session will focus on getting to know each other and building a connection and maybe get some information on things that have worked or not worked for you in the past. We will work at a comfortable pace and figure out the best plan for you moving forward. I will also give some brief information on confidentiality, etc.
