Accepting CA clients. Are you feeling overwhelmed with life's daily stressors? Do you find that you are not where you want to be in you life? Do you sometimes find yourself anxious, depressed or feeling hopeless and out of balance? A history of trauma, addictions, compulsions, suicidal thoughts, self-harm and other life-interfering behaviors can do that. Together, we will work on removing the emotional, cognitive and behavioral barriers that keep you from achieving your personal goals. My mission is to help you achieve your best self by helping you identify where you are now and create a plan to work towards where you want to be.
Evidenced based practices such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), provide the therapeutic framework of understanding our thoughts and behaviors. I provide structured individual and group therapy that teach coping skills to be used immediately and when in distress.
In over 20 years of practice, I have witnessed people transform their lives by changing their thoughts and behaviors resulting in improved relationships and a life worth living. If you are ready to make a change in your life, call me today. Puppy therapy upon request. Certified DBT Clinician.
