I work with teenagers and adults to help navigate life's challenges. I work with clients to break struggles down into manageable pieces and build skills to help with coping. I use a short- term, relational, client centered approach to ensure we are working on what is important to you. Clients can expect to be challenged in supportive ways, guided through exploration and to build skills to forge new pathways through life. I believe in getting to know you as a whole person and using existing strengths to help you to tackle some of your struggles. I work with clients to help them adjust the way they are thinking about things when appropriate. I adjust my interventions with clients to fit their needs, personality and preferences. If you are having a hard time and not feeling like yourself it takes courage to reach out for support. I respect the strength it took to begin to make a change.
