I am an experience therapist who can support you in making positive changes in your life. My areas of specialty include personality and mood disorders, addiction, and grief, but I have work with clients on a wide range of issues over the years. I help my clients through a combination of education on how the human mind works, and increasing awareness of how those principals are playing out in your daily life.
In our first session I will take us through an informal interview to get an overview of you history, and the issues you are dealing with that bring you into therapy. I want to learn about where you have been, and where you would like my help to go.
As a therapist my practice in informed by a wide breadth of personal experiences, a deep level of education, research, and study into the field of counseling, and experience in all levels of mental health care. Over my career I have worked with people from a wide variety of backgrounds on a wide variety of issues.
I offer a tremendous amount of experience to those seeking to overcome addiction, grief, or issues with anxiety and anger. Most of my client are recovering from a degree of trauma as well, and my practice is highly trauma informed.
In therapy I start by helping client increase their awareness of the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and actions. From there I will help you identify underlying beliefs that impact emotional well being, and maximize the impact of helpful belief, while reducing the reliance on unhelpful or untrue beliefs.
