I enjoy working with individuals, children and couples that are hoping to gain confidence in healthier communication skills. Getting to understand you and getting to know one another will help improve our relationships. This will help recognize where you are hoping to improve your qualities in daily functioning. Building an alliance with me can create a safe place to practice and process your thoughts and feelings. Being able to process your past experience will allow you to identify and process ongoing needs within your daily lifestyle. Therapeutic alliance helps individuals grow within and become aware of their own needs

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Utilizing CBT during therapy helps individuals identify their strengths and weaknesses in their thought process. Making small changes in thought process will allow long term changes take affect after continued practice it the thought structure. Allowing the individual to become aware of changes needed for better communication styles.
