Affirm Counseling

Welcome! I am dedicated to providing a collaborative, compassionate, and supportive environment on your wellness journey. Therapy is a space where you can explore your true self without judgment. Together, we will discuss your goals, strengths, and any barriers you may be facing, with the aim of helping you live a life that reflects your fullest potential. You matter, and I am here to help you tap into your inner resilience and the strengths that exist within you.

With more than 25 years of experience in the mental health and substance use fields as a case manager and social worker, I bring both professional expertise and personal insight into the healing process. My passion for social justice, LGBTQ+ rights, disability advocacy, and supporting marginalized individuals is at the heart of my practice.

I take a holistic approach, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. In our work together, we will explore various aspects of your life and their impact on your overall well-being. I draw upon a variety evidence-based therapeutic modalities tailored to meet your specific needs and goals. These include person-centered therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), expressive arts, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, written exposure therapy, and sandtray therapy, among others. I look forward to partnering with you on your path toward healing and growth.
