Great to meet you!

If you are looking for someone to support you in your journey toward sustainable mental health, I would be happy to join your team. Through the use of consistent, direct, and often humorous treatment sessions, I can assist you in meeting your wellness goals. Although past experiences are helpful in understanding your challenges, let's focus on the new strategies that will help you move toward a happier future!

A bit about my approach to therapy

By regularly determining what strategies that you are willing and able to practice each week, an action plan can be created that will help guide you toward your goals.

What you can expect from our first session

You may not leave treatment feeling refreshed. Therapy is hard work and at times you can temporarily feel worse before you start to feel better. Each session you will take away one or two "reflecting points."
