Reaching out for help can be overwhelming and scary. How do you know which counselor to talk to? How do you know if it’s a good fit? What do all the letters mean after everyone’s names? What are my friends and family going to think if they hear I’m in counseling? There is so much confusion and stigma around mental health, and I would love to help you make sense of the process. I have extensive experience working with individuals in crisis, helping them find reasons to stay alive and ways to cope with what can feel like all-consuming depression and sorrow. I also have experience working with individuals who are experiencing difficulties with overuse of alcohol and drugs and can help plot a course toward harm-reduction and a more rewarding life. I love working with teenagers and college age students. It’s during this time that people often are struggling to find their identity, who they love, and what they want out of their lives. It’s also during this time that difficult symptoms tend to start making an appearance. Learning how to cope now can lessen the effects later in life and lead to much healthier and holistic outcomes. I offer free 15 minute phone consultations to see if I am the best fit for your needs. Let’s get connected today and start working towards a future you are excited about.
