Adult - Individual Counseling
Perhaps you find yourself wondering how you got here, feeling like you've lost yourself or haven't quite worked through something that happened in the past? Perhaps you're feeling down and struggling to find joy in the places you used to find it? Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed with the pressures around you and are looking to learn new ways to cope and regain your inner strength? I will meet you where you are and help guide you toward your mental health goals. I love working with expecting parents, new parents, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, lack of vitality, relationship issues, etc..

Child & Adolescent - Individual Counseling
Maybe your teen has been treated for mental health issues before? Maybe they just seem "off" and need someone to talk to? Maybe they want to learn how their brain works and how they can nurture it in ways that promote a lifetime of positive mental health? I offer individual counseling sessions to support the mental health needs of your child. I draw on evidence-based approaches to help them get where they want to be. I'll give them a safe place to explore their identity and find their best self. Common issues that I address through counseling are: anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, executive functioning skills, lack of motivation, disengagement, body image, lack of confidence, family conflict, healthy boundaries and relationships.

Teen Life Coaching
Maybe you're not quite sure if your teen needs counseling but they seem a little lost and could use some help? Maybe you know how much potential your teen has but they just don't seem to see it themself. Maybe your teen seems to be happy but you can tell that something isn't right deep down. Maybe you just want to make sure your teen has a trusting adult to connect with and feel supported as they navigate the challenges of high school?
Coaching services are typically goal-oriented and can focus on a variety of issues. I offer coaching services to address general life issues, finding motivation, becoming more organized, post-high school planning, ADD/ADHD support, Autism support, social-skill building, social/emotional wellness, healthy relationships, etc..

I have chosen not to work with insurance in order to better focus my energy on my clients. My philosophy is to treat my clients with the highest level of respect and dignity which I don't feel aligns well with the requirements of insurance companies. I am able to tailor my treatment approaches to meet the unique needs of each client, without the requirement to diagnose the client and adhere to strict treatment limitations accorded by a specific diagnosis. I am also able to limit access to client information and maintain higher levels of confidentiality.
While I do not accept insurance, you may be able to use a Health Savings Account to pay for counseling services.
