I am a licensed clinical professional counselor providing therapy to address a range of challenges including anxiety, depression, ADHD as well as difficulties with communication and navigating conflict in relationships. Often individuals seek therapy after what they have tried on their own is not providing the change they are seeking. I provide a supportive and partnership approach to therapy incorporating tools to meet client goals.
Taking the first step to seek counseling is not always an easy one. Understanding this, my approach is one of empathy, compassion, respect and collaboration. I provide a non biased, non judgmental space. The first session will be used to get to know the client, explore any any hx of therapy/treatment and identifying any goals that they client might have for therapy.
I well versed and lean heavily on evidenced based tools such as CBT for individuals as well as Gottman Method for couples. I take a partnership approach to incorporate tools and techniques to work towards goals the client would like to achieve. Sessions are kept conversational while also be directive. Humor is infused where appropriate and I am consistent with meeting the client where they are.
CBT is integrated to evaluate and address thought patterns which drive mood or behaviors that cause difficulties in day to day life.
My specialty is working with couples to improve connection, better navigate conflict and improve communication skills
DBT is incorporated to help manage emotional regulation and improve response to stress.
Mindfulness based therapy is often part of addressing stress management as well as ADHD.
