I specialize in working with clients managing depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, self-esteem issues, codependency, grief, fear, loneliness and adjustments to the events of life. Having clients share their story with me is an honor that I do not take lightly. I focus on hearing the stories of my clients and really seeing what they are going through, helping them to carry the challenges they face so that they feel less alone. I believe that conversations can truly be the catalyst for major change, and a trusting relationship with an objective therapist can make a huge impact.
I tend to use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focusing on how our thinking affects our lives, as well as a strengths based and solutions focused approach, offering concrete action items to use here and now, while also monitoring the larger scope and goals that my clients have for themselves.
My therapeutic style is based on the individual that I’m working with, but always starting with rapport building and using the therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for change. I believe in empathy and compassion and understand that a person’s desire to improve their life is all that is needed to get started.
