Hello, I am a licensed Psychologist and have been working in the field for approximately 20 years. As a psychologist, I find fulfillment in helping individuals navigate, not only mental health challenges, but daily challenges in life by providing a supportive and compassionate environment. By utilizing an eclectic and collaborative approach we can find solutions together to overcome life's difficulties. Let me assist you in becoming the best version of yourself.
In our first session together, we will do brief introductions, and then you will be asked to provide a brief history of your life. We will then discuss the specific challenges you are facing, and what has helped or not helped so far. This will help me to create a tailored treatment plan for us to work through in follow up sessions.
One of my biggest strengths is empathetic understanding, or the ability to put myself in other people's shoes. By doing so, I am able to offer a sense of acceptance without judgment, building trust and confidence in your abilities. Clients have described me as easy to talk to with a good sense of humor, and a positive outlook on life.
I enjoy working with people who are struggling but who are open to change, and are motivated to make changes, even though it may be difficult. Life is often not easy, and we all need some support and guidance at times. Often clients are eager to improve and feel better, but they may lack the necessary tools to make that happen. Or they have the tools and resilience to make a change, but do not recognize these skills hidden among all the chaos. I work best with people that are seeking the right tools or need to rediscover their own strength and answers within themselves.
By utilizing different methods, drawing from various theoretical models, and techniques, I will be able to tailor your treatment plan to your specific needs. This leaves you with your own unique challenges and goals, which offers you a flexible and personalized treatment experience.
