It can feel overwhelming to take the first step into counseling. My gentle, non-judgmental approach will support you every step of the way and answer all your questions and concerns.
I offer individual counseling sessions for late teens to young adults. Areas of specialization include anxiety, depression, add, learning challenges, relational difficulties, trauma, and grief.
Sessions are person centered, and individualized. We will work together on creating goals that support your growth and progress. I offer specific mindfulness and breathwork exercises to improve self awareness, emotional regulation, focus and mood.
We can meet virtually, in person in my private office, or get outside in alternative settings such as hiking or walking. My approach draws from somatic awareness, attachment theory, compassionate mindfulness, parts work, positive and depth psychology. I offer Solution-Focused Brief Therapies as well as long term care.
On my free time I enjoy, hiking, playing with my goldendoodle, snowboarding, seeing live music, and spending time with family and friends.
At the moment I am not in network with insurance providers and fee is due at the end of each session. I provide superbills for those that can request for reimbursement from their insurance companies for out of network providers.
A sliding scale for fees may be offered on a case by case basis.
