CERTIFIED CLINICAL ANXIETY TREATMENT PROFESSIONAL (CCATP)

Therapy is an opportunity to “sea” possibilities that lay before you. We can’t change the past, but we can eliminate patterns that don’t serve us and keep us stuck. Are you looking for a safe place to explore thoughts and feelings without judgment?

If You Can Imagine It, You Can Achieve It, If You Can Dream It, You Can Become It. I believe in treating the whole person and tailoring treatment to meet individual needs. Treatment approaches include C.B.T. (Cognitive behavioral Therapy), Solution focused and psychodynamic approaches.

It is often difficult to find someone who you can trust and who will really listen. Yet, we all need a safe place where we can tell our story and speak honestly. Sometimes life can become especially difficult. Having an objective, trained counselor can provide the tools and opportunity to open the door to peace and understanding. I believe passionately in the power of therapy to reshape lives and discover our innate capabilities. Often couseling will include disputing false beliefs like "I'm not good enough". Yes, you are. Come on in and I will prove it to you!

Life shapes us all.

Anxiety and worry play a role in all of our lives. It can cause us feel stuck or make even the smallest decision seem impossible. You are not alone, many feel the same way everyday. Having children, parenting, illness, the loss of a loved one, divorce/relationship ending and changing jobs can all be sources of increased stress and worry. These stressors can impact our emotions causing our anxiety to become overwhelming. Learning to handle strong emotions and developing emotional intelligence is key to managing our life stressors.
