An adamant believer of the therapeutic mantra to “start where the client is,” I see therapy as a validating and safe space. I have an in-depth understanding of the way that psychosocial factors effect an individual's overall health and wellness. In my practice, I work collaboratively with clients to understand their therapy goals and join with them as they progress towards positive and meaningful change.
I utilize an empathic, genuine, and strengths-based approach to explore each individual’s definition of a meaningful life, and I incorporate action steps and skill development to align with their goals. Several evidenced based approaches are integrated into my practice, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
While symptom reduction may be a welcome side effect of therapy, quite often the emphasis is on an improvement in day-to-day functioning followed by an overall greater sense of happiness and wellbeing! Please feel free to reach out, and I look forward to hearing from you!
