We will be looking at the whole you, the biological, social, emotional, and logical parts of you and how they interact with one another.

Therapy style
Together we will review and weigh the anxious, depressive, resentful, or otherwise negative thoughts and behavioral patterns to determine their merit and usefulness and work on promoting alternative, healthy thoughts and patterns to replace them. We will be looking at the whole you, the biological, social, emotional, and logical parts of you and how they interact with one another. We will be looking at daily activities, self-care, social interaction, hopes, dreams, and more to inspire ways to begin living in a way that is closer to the life you want to be living. We will work on expressing and processing emotions through discussion of various specific stressors, as I have seen that we can more easily see patterns in how we handle reoccurring, specific situations in the past and present. All of this will be done in a nonjudgmental, supportive, and authentic space. I look forward to walking beside you at this crossroads in your life.

Interests
I love building decks in "Magic the Gathering," particularly the Commander format and have a large group of friends that I play against occasionally. I also enjoy writing daily, listening to metalcore music, and learning something new every day through watching informative videos. Additionally, I enjoy spending time with loved ones.
