Support that meets you where you are.
I believe that each client is the expert of their life. I will support you as you learn and practice skills and techniques to process past scenarios and manage the overwhelming feelings that are currently holding you back. Let’s work together to shift from a fixed to a growth mindset. We’ll work on challenging negative thoughts, developing skills, setting goals, and making lasting changes.I have taken additional training to work with people with ADHD/ADD and insomnia.
