I am an experienced therapist helping individual clients cope with addictions, trauma, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I use evidence-based methods enabling clients to achieve their desired goals. These methods include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness, meditation, and writing therapy. I use a client-centered approach to the therapeutic process. We proceed at a pace that is comfortable for you. You determine the goals for therapy.
In the first session, clients experience me as calm, empathic, supportive, and often see my experience in addressing their struggles as comforting and inspiring hope.
My experience enables me to bring expertise in a variety of evidence-based approaches to the client's emotional challenges. My calm and empathic approach also creates a supportive thereutiv environment that fosters hope. Ultimately, I have a long track record of clients achieving their desired therapeutic goals.
Given my extensive experience, I have successfully worked with clients confronting a wide variety of challenges. I see people suffering from anxiety and depression regardless of the precipitating factors. I also work with people affected by trauma. I work with people so they can recover from their trauma-based anxiety, anger, depression, trigger reactions, and low self-esteem.
I find CBT quite helpful for clients struggling with anxiety and depression.
I find DBT helpful for clients struggling with the effects of past trauma and emotional dysregulation.
Mindfulness is an important tool for a variety of issues, including depression and anxiety.
Trauma is ubiquitous in our society and I use trauma informed care as a means to assist people in their recovery.
