Hello and welcome to my bio, I am so glad you are here! I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds. My counseling methods are tailored to individual needs, but I have proven success with solution-focused approaches of talk therapy called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and motivational interviewing (MI). I describe myself as honest, funny, and compassionate. I love adventure, therapy, and true crime. If you feel we are a good fit, I look forward to meeting you.
