My clients are people who desire to heal from painful relational wounds so they can start realizing their dreams. I believe you can be empowered to release shame from trauma and feel alive, connected, and free! Through therapy, my clients find comfort in sharing laughter, genuineness, and acceptance of themselves.
My approach
I use a blend of cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems work, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy strategies. This means we will address the thoughts and beliefs influencing your behavior, set realistic and achievable goals based on your current situation, and work together to move beyond challenges towards a more promising future.
My focus
I work with individuals, couples, and families in addressing issues including depression, anxiety, infidelity, grief, communication problems, and alcohol and drug addiction.
My communication style
I am a direct, warm, and charismatic person, you will find. My clients learn that their time in therapy is a safe place where they are free to share thoughts and emotions and even share a genuine laugh sometimes.
My journey to mental healthcare
I became a counselor because I want to help people through their challenges. Therapy was a lifeline for me during some of my most difficult times. I believe having an ally to help you find your way through the dark is a necessity.
My goals for you
It is important that we set your goals together. I like to incorporate the values, preferences, and strengths of those in collaboration with me to make sure that we are after a goal that you want to accomplish and feel good about!
My first session with you
In our first session, I will learn more about your personal history, family, work, and social life. We will talk about what specific things you are seeking help with and what you want to achieve. Where applicable, I will conduct and review assessments to help gauge your level of needs.
