Everyone needs a little help sometimes. I enjoy helping people find their innermost strengths - the gifts, talents, and abilities they were created with. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or just feeling stuck, therapy provides a safe place to work things out and find solutions that are right for you.
My approach
I adapt a variety of methods to what is most useful for you. My approach draws from Adlerian, attachment-based, cognitive behavioral (CBT), humanistic, mindfulness-based, person-centered, rational emotive behavior (REBT), solution-focused, and trauma-focused modalities. I also incorporate coaching, grief therapy, sex therapy, and Christian counseling perspectives.
My focus
I specialize in working with individuals struggling with addiction, anger management, anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality, depression, grief, sexual addiction, spirituality, trauma, and PTSD. I also have experience supporting older adults.
My communication style
I engage with empathy and warmth, adapting my approach to your needs. Through attentive listening and thoughtful questions, I create a safe space for open, honest dialogue. My communication style is direct yet compassionate as we collaboratively explore challenges and solutions tailored to your unique situation and goals.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have dedicated my career to mental healthcare, with 18 years in private practice after a decade of experience in various healthcare settings. I hold a Master of Arts degree and am passionate about providing compassionate, personalized care to help each individual client find their path to well-being.
My goals for you
My goal is to provide you with a supportive, nonjudgmental space to gain self-awareness, build on your innate strengths, learn new coping skills, and make positive changes to enhance your life. I aim to empower you with the tools and insights to overcome challenges and realize your full potential.
My first session with you
In our first session, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy and begin to develop a trusting therapeutic relationship. I'll listen closely to understand your unique situation, needs, and goals. Together, we'll start to identify focus areas and map out a tailored treatment plan. You can expect me to be attentive, caring, and collaborative every step of the way.
