Sometimes things arise in someone's life that seem insurmountable. When talking to friends and family doesn't help it may seem like there is no way through a situation. Speaking to a trained therapist may be the best way to bring about the change you need. This can be difficult and uncomfortable at times but with hard work change is not only possible but inevitable. Anxiety, depression, relationship issues can be treated with strength-based, client-focused treatment.
Assisting people utilize their existing strengths and abilities to solve problems has been very successful. I use Cognitive-Behavior Treatment to empower people bring about the change they want. I believe you are the expert in your life. My role as a therapist is to empower and provide tools you need to bring about the change you want.
I've spent over thirty years helping people make positive changes in their lives. Doing so with support, empathy, and commitment has been the centerpiece of my work. I will bring these principles to my work with you.
