Do you feel anxious or depressed? Is this affecting your relationships and overall happiness? Anxiety and depression can be displayed in many ways but are some of the most common issues faced by people today. Therapy can help break the cycle of stress and aid in developing the necessary tools to combat life stressors. I have specific training in treating grief, anxiety, depression, anger issues, relationship issues, and behavioral disorders. If you do not see a time that fits your schedule please contact me to see if I can open my availability.

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

Getting to Know You Background Information: I will ask questions about your background, including family history, educational and occupational history, and social relationships. Current Concerns: You will discuss why you sought therapy, including any specific issues or symptoms you're experiencing. Goals for Therapy: What do you hope to achieve through therapy? Establishing Rapport Building Trust: The first session is also about establishing a comfortable and trusting relationship Confidentiality: I will explain the confidentiality of your sessions and the limits to that confidentiality (e.g., risk of harm to yourself or others).

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

I am relatable and non-judgemental. I am a born motivator. I love to motivate people to live their best life.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

We wonder why two individuals have gone through the same thing but one of the individuals can move on and one is crippled. I have 20 plus years using the the CBT modality to restructure the thought process.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I have 10 years using the DBT modality. DBT is a way to be present, to live in the present moment. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a modified type of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Its main goals are to teach people how to live in the moment, develop healthy ways to cope with stress, regulate their emotions, and improve their relationships with others.

Strength-Based

One of the first modalities I learned as a social worker was to lean on a person's strengths to build up their weakness.

Gender-affirming therapy

I have two years of experience dealing with individuals who wanted gender-affirming surgery. I also have a family member who has had gender assignment surgery therefore I have a vast knowledge of a person's mental woes while transitioning.

Grief Therapy

If I was an author, my first book would be on Grief therapy. I have first-hand knowledge of how grief affects one's everyday life. I lost my mother in 2003 and I was overcome with grief. I felt like a walking zombie not knowing how I got to different places, not remembering taking a left or right turn. I can help you cope with your grief feelings.
