I decided to become a therapist after a time in my own life in which I could not find a relatable provider. Trust me, I understand that psychotherapy and taking the first step in initiating services can often feel awkward or almost even scary. But, the personal work you do in therapy can be one of the most rewarding efforts you can undertake. Grief, complex relationships, trauma, anxiety, depression, career and life dissatisfaction, life adjustments, and intimacy and sexuality amongst so many other things can all be reasons to talk to a professional such as myself. Seeking a deeper understanding of yourself and intentionally pursuing a more fulfilling life are essential journeys to take to reach your fullest potential in every area of your life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session together will be laid back, easy going and an opportunity for us to get to know each other, orient you to my practice, and for me to complete what is known as an intake assessment to find out more about you, your history, and most importantly how to help!
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My therapeutic style is genuine, respectful, compassionate, humorous, and most importantly, nonjudgmental. I am trained to help people achieve the life they envision. Usually, this involves changing how you think about things, how you feel about yourself, and bringing more positive and supportive energy into your life. I encourage you to heed the words of Henry David Thoreau, "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive-behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented type of talk therapy. It has been well studied through peer reviews and shown to be effective to treat a variety of mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety, emotional concerns, grief and stress. CBT can also help manage non-psychological conditions, such as insomnia, life transitions, and chronic pain. Utilizing CBT, together, we take a close look at your thoughts and emotions. Through this intervention, you will come to understand how your thoughts affect your actions, how you speak to yourself and how your inner voice contributes to your emotions. Sometimes this includes looking into childhood experiences and completing shadow work to understand the depth of how we handle our problems. Through CBT, you can unlearn negative thoughts and behaviors and learn to adopt healthier thinking patterns and habits. As a result, you learn to respond better to stress, pain and difficult situations.
Eclectic
Eclectic psychotherapy selects convenient techniques from various approaches of therapy to be utilized in talk therapy. It can also sometimes be referred to as Integrative psychotherapy which aims at putting diverse theoretical systems together under a system to create the most unique treatment methods for each unique client. When we utilized eclectic therapy, we may bring pieces of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment based therapy, and nature therapy all into the same session. Each of these elements will support your needs and teach a wide range of mental health skills that you can use at different points in your daily routine.
