I provide strength-based, structured support, helping clients overcome obstacles and adapt to transitions in life. My approach focuses on leveraging clients' existing strengths and developing practical strategies to achieve their goals. By offering clear, effective guidance, I empower individuals to succeed in their journeys. With years of experience as a therapist, I also specialize in business and veteran support. Utilizing business principals, and a background as a former veteran, I offer a unique understanding of transitions in both business and the military.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting a clear understanding of what success looks like for you in the context of your career transition or professional goals. We’ll start by exploring your aspirations—whether that’s adapting to a new role, overcoming challenges in your current position, or navigating a significant change like a promotion, retirement, or discharge from the military. Together, we’ll define what achieving success means for you personally and professionally, creating a clear vision for the future. Next, we’ll identify any barriers that could prevent you from reaching this success. These might include external factors, like workplace dynamics or industry challenges, or internal barriers, such as self-doubt, lack of motivation, or difficulty managing stress. We’ll explore these obstacles in a collaborative, non-judgmental way, ensuring that we’re addressing the real issues standing in the way of your goals. Once we’ve identified both the vision of success and the potential barriers, we’ll develop an initial plan for how we’ll work together to overcome these obstacles. This plan will be tailored to your unique strengths, skills, and resources, focusing on practical steps and strategies to help you adapt quickly and effectively. Our goal will be to create a structured roadmap, outlining the steps we’ll take to ensure you’re supported throughout this process. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer understanding of the path forward, estimated timeframes and we’ll be ready to start working on achieving your career goals, using a strength-based approach to ensure success.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a great way to get started with therapy as we work together to find what the right fit is. Traditionally CBT is more structured and has opportunities for tools you can use independently. I utilize CBT as an initial treatment model until we can figure out the best fit for you.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is a offshoot of CBT and one of the great benefits of this is it focuses on mindfulness, relationships, managing our emotions, and managing stress. I utilize DBT to ensure you have tools you need, including providing coping skills to maintain safety.
Gestalt
Gestalt therapy is a person centered approach that uses exploration to find new ways to manage symptoms. This type of therapy does address how issues from the past impact how we feel in the moment. This approach often utilizes creative ways to work through issues. I utilize this when we have a good therapeutic relationship and you need a bit more of a challenge to gain insight.
