I don't believe in "mental illness": No one comes to therapy because has been too awesome. When we can identify the source of your pain and heal it, we can change your life. Everyone can get better. They just need to find the right therapist.

I have a down-to-earth style that is balanced by an ability to be direct when needed. Sometimes, people need more than reassurance and support in therapy. Sometimes they need someone to tell what they need to hear, even when it's tough.
Explore problematic patterns in your life (especially in relationships), address negative self-talk that is keeping you down, determine how to start making the changes that you have been wanting, and help you live a life with purpose and meaning.

I'm flexible in my approach. Although I emphasize using types of therapy that have been proven to work, I will apply those therapies based on your individual needs and preferences. We will collaborate to determine what will work best for you!
Softly challenge distorted unhelpful/exaggerated/unrealistic harsh judgements/thoughts/beliefs that appear during your distress. Just because we have a thought doesn't make it true. Self compassion is powerful!

I believe addictions often originate from deeper underlying issues such as trauma/PTSD, chronic pain, psychosis, anxiety, and depression. I want to help you accomplish -whatever- goals/values that are uniquely important to you. Evidenced based.
We will tackle the challenging issues you bring in. Whether we are working with insomnia, anxiety, marriage issues, sexual concerns or some combination of these, we will work together to access your strengths and remove barriers to success.

A good therapist's job is to hold up an accurate mirror. That means that we help our clients to see and access their skills and strengths they have, while not being afraid to point out the barriers to progress and health that they are facing.
We will accomplish the the goals that you set forth for your therapy. The therapy is for your growth, benefit and to help live a more satisfying and peaceful, productive and meaningful life

I use a combination of therapeutic styles including cognitive-behavioral methods, interpersonal and relational approaches and mindfulness in a collaborative approach to meet client needs and goals
