I can do this by incorporating an eclectic approach to therapy which includes techniques derived from Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapies, Reality-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Emotion Focused, and Solution Focused modalities.
Beginning your journey in therapy can be difficult and overwhelming…perhaps even a little scary. It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable and explore some of the most difficult aspects of your life. That’s why it is so important to find someone who you can trust. I believe life is not just made up of one- but many journeys and the experiences along the way. I enjoy working with individuals who have a multitude of different experiences, cultures, and backgrounds. These experiences help me to incorporate the most important aspects of your identity to ensure your treatment is in alignment with your core beliefs and values.

Therapy is an opportunity for personal development in a safe, nonjudgmental, respectful, private, and supportive environment. It is natural to feel overwhelmed at times and it is not a sign of weak character to seek help. Through therapy we can learn to manage our emotions more effectively, improve our relationships and communication, bolster our confidence and self-esteem, and minimize our distress. In my work, I strive to create a comfortable environment in which I can assist clients in identifying thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and recurring patterns of behavior that may be impinging on the capacity to experience and create a fuller, more satisfying life.

However, much of our actual work will be on thoughts and, especially, emotions as these are often the greatest barriers to values-oriented behavior change.
Most of my clients are wrestling with some combination of anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. In addition, they are often struggling to figure out what in life is most meaningful and important for them. With other clients, their life goals and values may be clear, but they find themselves running into psychological barriers such as fear and avoidance. In an ideal world I would want all my clients to be able to say that they have never felt more understood and, simultaneously, that they have never felt more challenged -- always in a safe and respectful environment.

A client who is ready to face uncertainties in their life and embrace the journey. Clients that are accepting sitting with tough times and not aspiring to evade them will make for a less resistant path in the grand scheme of things. Aspiring to develop a more introspective side of themselves and critically think about how their day to day choices and their environment may be a reflection of their direction moving forward. Through trauma, addiction, behavioral, or relationship issues, if the client is able to simply open up, an undiscovered depth will now become visible.
