Great to meet you!
I virtually assist first responders and military folks through the "ick" left by critical incidents. I also work with older adolescents and adults, providing support through life transitions, relationship issues (familial, friendship, or romantic), anxiety, trauma, fitness/body image concerns, and more! I often use fitness and animal training to help make sense of things. My big floofy dog may sometimes make an appearance!
A bit about my approach to therapy
I feel like everyone should have a great therapist these days! If you desire an honest and open therapist, with a dry sense of humor, I can meet you where you are so we can jump right in. Your progress is important to me and I like to use various ways to measure progress so you can objectively see it too. I offer therapeutic D&D/TTRPG games and therapeutic surf retreats.
What you can expect from our first session
After our first session, I hope you feel supported and cared for. I will partner with you to help you attain your goals through conversation or a more structured approach using worksheets or apps. You will always have skills to work on in between sessions. We will also use our time to identify stuck points and brainstorm different approaches to the challenges you’re experiencing.
To make an appointment call (910) 256-3784 and I will arrange to meet with you via our secure online telehealth platform.
