About My Clients
Are you in transition and need someone to help you work through it? Do you sometimes feel like your emotions have taken over and you need to regain your control? In my 15+ years of practice I have provided therapy across ages including young children, adolescents, teens, young and older adults through various needs and challenges. I utilize approaches that are both grounded in Cognitive Therapy and humor, when needed, to regain your balance and live your best life.
My Background and Approach
I am specifically trained in Cognitive Therapy from the Beck Institute and Trauma Focused- CBT. I also utilize and Strengths-Based approach in addition to Motivational Interviewing in my practice. In our sessions, we'll explore the things bringing to you therapy and prioritize the most important issues. With CT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions, experiences, and reactions. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to challenge those thoughts using your strengths, and a little irreverence and playfulness to change for the better. My goal is to create a safe environment to explore, process and heal while finding your resilience and self-confidence. Trust can take time; as we develop our relationship, you can expect me to challenge you through empathy and compassion, work at your pace, and creatively forge a path forward that works for you. I am here to help you navigate the difficult conversations with yourself to see you through to your goals.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe everyone has the capacity for change and live the life they dream . One of the main reasons we develop mental health issues is because we learn maladaptive ways to move through our relationships and the world, preventing us from truly living in a peace we all want. The good thing is we as people are able to learn new things and new ways of meeting our individual and relationship needs. I have learned through my own journey with anxiety that I can regain control of what I thought controlled me. I want others to gain the same control and strength! We are made to do great and wonderful things and I see that potential in every person I have the opportunity to form a therapeutic relationship with. If you think we might be a good fit, send me a message and we can get started!
