My clients are more than the challenges they are facing, whether it be depression, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, etc. My clients are people first who are looking for guidance in creating the coping skills necessary for relief and a fulfilling life. It is important to my clients that their therapist truly hear their concerns, needs, and goals, as well as be the person they can be fully transparent. A safe and nurturing setting is created with my clients in order for mutual trust, openness, and respect to emerge. My clients want to see the evolvement of positive changes occur in their lives, as do I.
While I mainly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice, I also integrate Mindfulness Based Practice, Narrative Therapy, Play Therapy, and Exposure-Response Prevention Therapy when applicable. In all my sessions, I use a strengths-based perspective and am person centered.
Life can be very tough. We never know what we might face. Sometimes we are struggling with a challenge that has been with us shortly, for years, or our entire lives. Being alone in fighting these battles is not fair. You deserve to have a someone on your side who will work with you on managing these challenges and I am ready to be there for you.
