LCSW, 17 years of experience
I am a seasoned therapists who places significant amount of importance on developing a therapeutic relationship. My skillset includes a whole person approach that covers both physical and emotional well-being. I utilize primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Mindfulness. In addition, I utilize my certification in Health Coaching to ensure physical aspects are addressed that may be impacted your mental health. I have never narrowed my practice to a specific diagnosis; however I do find that I work a lot with Depression, Anxiety, Relationships, Co-Dependency, and Weight Related Diagnoses.
Our first session involves collecting information to get a better sense of the presenting issues and you past and present coping tools. I will share my therapeutic style, answer any questions and we will discuss your goals for therapy.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Acceptance and Mindfulness utilize questions, exercises, and practices to help you explore, understand, process and redefine your unique beliefs, thoughts, distortions, fears and values.
I believe that my varied of life experiences - professionally and personally have allowed me to be able to connect with others with more compassion and empathy. I value your time and mine time and want to utilize our time to be the most beneficial for you.
I aim to meet client where they are at emotionally and work together to improve your overall quality of life.
