What draws you to therapy at this time in your life? What do you expect to gain? Every therapist operates under specific assumptions in therapy, which explains the various methods, and ideologies about treatment. My only assumption about the human is that we continue to suffer because we create a disconnect between our authentic self, and who we present to others. The self we present to others inevitably creates emotions that of depression, and anxiety. Traumas are experiences outside of our control that we can choose to continue to suffer with, or use as interventions to give ourselves a new perspective on life. I strive to help others discover their authentic self, so that they can create their own fulfilment. And that fulfilment can only be created by yourself. I can only assist you in discovering who you really are, discard the self you present to others, and wish you the best as you take on your journey of creating your own well-deserved fulfilment. Ultimately, in feeling more fulfilment, we begin to create more meaningful relationships which are great contributors to our happiness.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My hope for every meeting is to bring about increased awareness of the self. With an increase in awareness, there is a natural change in ability to recognize the relationships, and behaviors that create internal disconnects, which often manifest as depression and anxiety. With being more aware, we gain the freedom to choose how we want to feel, think, and behave.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My treatment methods are specifically catered to the individual. My assumption is, everyone is uniquely themselves, and despite being similar to others, no other person has experienced your perspective on life. Therefore, no single method could apply to any two individuals. The methods of treatment I use only you will ever know. Otherwise, everyone should just meditate two times a day for twenty minutes, every day.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe my greatest strengths to be in helping others realize that the quality of our relationships have a monumental impact on how we feel, beginning with the relationship with ourself. Depression and anxiety are symptoms of a greater issue, reflected in our relationships. Finally, the better we know ourselves, the better we can know the people we surround ourselves with, so to be able to share our happiness, and share it with those we love and deserve it.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with family and parenting issues above all else, but I also really enjoy couples and individuals struggling with relationship issues.
