Accepting new clients! Depression, anger, anxiety, and just trying to figure out how to make it in the world today can be difficult to do alone. My passion is to guide people through this journey to help them find peace in an otherwise chaotic world. If you are ready for change and want to talk to someone that can help you feel grounded and ready to face the world, please reach out to me. I offer counseling utilizing CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) principles to produce either positive changes to behavior or peaceful acceptance of things that one cannot change. For clinically less intense, but still troubling problems, I utilize personal coaching techniques and Motivational Interviewing Techniques. If you are dealing with depression, anger, or anxiety and want this type of change in your life then I am here to help. I know that you are probably tired of the struggles that have held you down in the past. It can be exhausting to try and do it alone. I hope that your desire to see something different in your life encourages to take the next step. I am available to talk if you are ready to begin this journey.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will go over what you need to know to be successful in therapy. We will also cover the basics, like how to contact me and important topics like confidentiality. We will spend most of the session getting to know you and what you are hoping to work on. I'll ask some questions to help get an understanding of the problems you face and what you're already doing to address. Finally, we'll end the session by scheduling future appointments.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)- Proven effective for treating depression, anxiety, and anger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)- For problems we face that have no easy solution. Coaching and Motivational Interviewing- For changes you desire that aren't rooted in challenges that are clinical in nature.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have a particular strength in working with anger, depression, and anxiety. I have helped many individuals overcome these challenges in the past. I also have a particular niche working with men on these issues and helping them work through them.
