My approach
CBT: What we think affects how we act and feel, What we do affects how think and feel and How we feel affects how we act and think. If any of these areas are causing reduced or poor quality of life and well-being then CBT can help.
My focus
Adults. Elderly. Life and living is so unique to each individual and each experience can teach and strengthen us.
My communication style
Relaxed, honest, open, judgment-free. The patient sets the pace of treatment.
My journey to mental healthcare
Seeing people reach what they want to accomplish, autonomy, self-empowerment, and taking control over and gaining knowledge about what brings them to therapy
My goals for you
Identify the goal, identify the starting point, identify the steps, and start! Realistic, attainable, relevant, and measurable.
My first session with you
Learning about your experience, why you are here, and what you hope to accomplish.
