About

Do you feel at times that you are overwhelmed due to tasks and demands coming at you from different directions? You are overburdened and do not know which directions to choose from? I help individuals identify and prioritize current stressors so that they can solve them and improve their daily functioning. We will work together so that the outcomes benefit you and your living conditions. I can integrate a variety of therapy and self-help approaches to help with the issues at hand, including Solution-Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. You deserve a safe place where you feel understood and encouraged to grow. In our sessions together, I will help you create that space around you so that you can grow. I hope we can work together to fulfill that goal.
