I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. If you are seeking meaning and purpose for your existence allow me to assist you in your discovery process. Together we can identify what is needed to create your best life experience.
Welcome! Therapy can seem scary at first so I truly want you to know I am here to listen and to help in any way I can. I prefer to ease into the session testing the waters one toe at a time so you well feel comfortable as we begin talking about why you came.
I am a good listener who looks to identify areas of distress that need healing. I often see distress as a possibility for growth but feel my client should understand WHY growth in this area is important for them. I want my clients to be vested in their own recovery.
I have used CBT to assist clients in identifying thought patterns that are not in alignment with their desire to improve mood and minimize self-destructive behaviors.
Psychodynamics has been useful in discovering links between past trauma and present cognitive distortions.
