About me
Appointments are available outside of 8-5 working hours starting as late as 7 pm! It takes courage to reach out for help when you struggle or feel stuck. As a therapist, I'm dedicated to creating a secure setting where my clients can express themselves and work through obstacles, adversity, and life changes. Therapy provides an opportunity for clients to question long-held beliefs that may no longer be beneficial to their present lives and make lasting change. In my practice, I work to create a non-judgmental and affirming environment where you can explore, process, and feel.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I believe we can all live a life filled with confidence, fulfilling relationships, purpose, and a sense of control. It's my hope that after a session, you leave feeling supported and like you made some progress. There is a place for processing the stresses of life, and often that's my office, but my goal is you leave even just a little bit stronger.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
My approach is collaborative and strengths-focused. I believe that by acknowledging and nurturing our talents and positive attributes we can outgrow any problem. I use a variety of Strengths-Based Techniques and Cognitive Therapies (CBT, CT-R) to address depression, anxiety, stress-management, relationships, substance abuse, and transitional problems. I have special training in Recovery Oriented Cognitive Therapy, an alternative to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which can be an effective tool for managing depression and psychosis symptoms if you have tried therapy before and found that it didn't work for you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One of my biggest strengths as a therapist is helping clients find direction. If you feel like you keep trying and don't know why things are so hard, or you feel like you know what you want and how to make it happen, but it just doesn't; you're in exactly the position I thrive to work with. I take the time to ask about and understand your reasons for working with me in their entirety and make sure they are put to words as fully and concisely as possible. I provide structure along the way and take the time to review progress, as it's easy to overlook in the scramble of everyday life.
