Hello and thank you for taking the time to review me and what I may offer you. Making the commitment to change, even something uncomfortable in your life is a big step and no matter who you may choose in helping you navigate this, take a moment to celebrate the step. If you decide to partner with me, I'll be excited to join you in your journey in overcoming a number of life's challenges to include depression, anxiety, anger, relationship difficulties, loss, life changes, or just striving towards a more positive mental and emotional state of being. I often utilize the process of analyzing thought and how it impacts emotions while focusing on the dimensions of wellness that often go neglected and can lead to higher levels of emotional and mental disturbance. Therapy can be a lot of work and it can be heavy at times, but it doesn't need to overwhelming, especially with the right partner. If you're ready, I'm ready.

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

In the first session, we will quickly cover expectations of the work we do together, a clearer understanding of the problems you are facing, and develop a measurable goal to ensure that the work we are doing is moving us in the direction that you desire in a timely manner.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

Unlike all the passwords we have to remember on the computer, we are really good at adopting and remembering the way we think during events and actions that we encounter on a daily basis. There are times that these automatic thoughts become concrete, illogical, and lead to unhealthy outcomes. We will be using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to evaluate which of those may be leading to negative outcomes and how to replace them with much more rational, realistic and healthy thoughts that may lead to less consequential emotions.

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

Many participants that have sought my help worked on anger management, anxiety, depression, men's issues, communication/relationships, and professional growth
