Choosing to work on yourself is not easy. My clients inspire me with their courage to seek help and their willingness to work hard to improve their lives. I would be honored to partner with you to help you reach your goals. My approach has been described as warm, open, and collaborative. I use various evidence-based interventions, which are treatments shown to be effective via research.

I’d love to schedule a free 15 minute consultation call with you via phone or video to get to know you.
