There are many reasons to seek brevity in care such as initial efforts toward restoring daily functioning, decision making in life-timing, short-term goals, and financial limitations. We will discuss your individual needs and expectations for care. Many begin the counseling process with this in mind, and their long-term goals can evolve to further address underlying contributing challenges.
There are many reasons to seek long-term care in addition to the initial efforts toward restoring daily functioning.

Counseling and Therapy as Treatment
What's holding you back, getting you down, out of balance?
I aim to reduce stigma and normalize accessing care for mental health disorders. Yet, find nonpathological perspectives are integral to support innate healing. I find distressing experiences can also bring resilience, empowerment, and strength, but addressing the hard parts is usually necessary to get there. Below are several examples of my experience in treatment and support. Each person is unique and assessment is necessary to ensure I can be the best fit for you.
