I work with a wide range of individuals from all types of backgrounds. I treat each individual based on what their needs are, I create personalized approaches to healing. I will work with you to create collaborative plan that will enable you to meet your personal goals. I will help you to have a better understanding of your concerns, worries and fears, and guide you down a path that will help you manage and minimize their effects on your life. My overall goal is to help individuals to achieve personal goals as efficiently as possible.
When in counseling with me, you will better understand where and how you have the most control in your life. Sometimes, these pivot points maybe different than we expect at first. I work with adolescents, adults, and athletes, over the ages of 16 years.
​
I will use my clinical training combined with my understanding of your background to help you identify a wider range of approaches to living life. I am a trauma trained therapist who combines different treatment modalities based on an individual basis. Providing an empathetic, and supportive environment , I will use the knowledge and experience that I have to help you identify a wider range of approaches to living a healthy life. I will assist you in making decisions, set goals and engage in healthy relationships. I will provide a supportive, empathetic environment, I will guide you and provide suggestions and ideas on how to assist you on your journey in creating the life that you desire. I am an "outside" of the box thinker, and will come up with treatment plans, techniques and strategies that will meet your needs.
The goal is to identify and explore how your needs, attitudes, thinking, and feelings influence your choices and relationships. The deeper understanding that you develop brings your present life into focus and your future outlook will change significantly.
​
I take certain insurance plans and have a sliding fee scale to meet you needs so that you can get the assistance that is needed.
