Are you seeking to understand yourself better? Are you looking to make sense of your relationship dynamics? Do you wish things were better, but you don't know how to get there? You CAN feel empowered by an expanding of your understanding, gathering insight, and educating the choices you make in how you decide to live your life. I work with adults and couples to help make sense of obstacles, understand how personal histories effect life today, and assist clients to become more at home with themselves. This is done in an atmosphere where you are accepted for who you are.

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

In our first session we will get to know each other, and you can see if you'd like to work me as a clinician. You can share what brings you to therapy, and we can discuss your goals.

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

My greatest strength as a provider is developing an individualize approach for each client as everyone comes with the own personality, expectations, and individualized goals.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Accepting yourself without judgement. Identifying values to build new and a more compassionate relationship with the self and difficult experiences.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Identifying faulty or unhelpful ways of thinking, examining motivations, or looking at learned patterns of unhelpful behavior to finding better ways of coping and behaving.

Psychodynamic

Focusing on unconscious processes that influence and motivate one’s behavior, and understanding of experiences that shape one's personality.

Couples Counseling

My approach in couples counseling is taken largely from Emotionally Focused Therapy to guide the distressed couple away from rigid, harmful, and destructive ways of reacting and toward sensitive, flexible ones that support intimate and secure bonds. I also use practical techniques taken from the IMAGO modality. This type of therapy is designed with more practical exercises for couples working to develop an understanding of their partner's and their own emotional reality.
