People often seek counseling because some part of their life is stuck, or because they are in pain or distress. In my work with individuals, couples, families, and polycules, I help you get unstuck. Counseling at its best can combine practical, helpful tools with improved understanding and self-love. The first question most people ask me is, "Will you do more than just listen?" In my 12 years as a counselor, I've learned the importance of providing a mix of listening, skill training, and deep processing. I attempt to create a judgment-free space where we can work as a team to help you address what is most important to you.
I've helped individuals work through a number of issues, including long-term depression, unshakable anxiety, relationship challenges, dating burnout, job frustrations, and substance use. Together, we will identify what's working, what isn't, and create a clear plan for making changes. We also explore the events in your life that helped you get here.
When working with couples, families, and polycules, I first help to identify and reduce areas of conflict that increasingly cause tension and pain. Often, this involves simple agreements and plans. Once a sense of safety has been established, we then work to identify and address the underlying issues that created the conflict.
