Change is possible, and our lives can differ from what we currently live. Most of us don’t have the knowledge or tools to make those changes. That is where counseling can help. As a therapist, I can assist you with understanding and processing why and how you think. Knowledge is power. Once you have that knowledge, you can implement changes in your life. Therapy allows you to create your toolbox filled with coping mechanisms, stress-relieving techniques, and reframing tools that you can rely on throughout your life to get you through difficult times and situations.
I meet clients where they are at in their life’s journey and use a combination of proven therapeutic techniques, including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and psychoeducation, to help them create goals, draw boundaries and live their best life. I work with various diagnoses, including schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and ADHD.
I believe in active therapy. Clients are encouraged to work on their skills and tools between sessions to adapt to behaviors and thoughts that benefit their goals and life. Therapy is not always an easy path, but the value of developing yourself into a more content individual is worth the investment. All insurances accepted.
