I am not here to fix you because you are not broken. I am not here to judge you because you are free to be whoever you want to be. I am here to help you reach your goals and find a trajectory to true happiness. Your journey to wellness begins when you recognize the role you play in your own life. You are powerful, capable, and worthy of the joy you seek. I am here to walk this path with you. I have extensive experience treating clients with Relationship Distress, Depression, Anxiety, Addiction, Codependency, Bipolar Disorder, and Adjustment Disorder. I am a certified specialist in the areas of anxiety and addiction.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I am honest, down-to-earth, direct, and willing to challenge my clients when needed to achieve significant results. My approach is rapport-based and treatment is centered on the client more than any one diagnosis.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use a combination of evidence based therapies that include Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Gottman Method, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. Some clients need takeaways to continue their understanding of concepts discussed in session. I'm happy to assign task/homework to further their understanding and develop their comfortability using therapeutic tools.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is forming therapeutic bonds by creating an environment of safety and trust. Significant results are most likely to be achieved when a client is willing to be vulnerable and believes in the process.
