With over 15 years of experience as a Psychologist, I have an eclectic approach to treatment, but tend to draw from relational and cognitive behavioral approaches in order to design a specialized treatment plan based on your unique needs.
✔ Identify the real force that is holding you back ✔ Elicit new perspectives on the problems that you are stuck on ✔Release whatever has been weighing on you to feel some much-needed relief ✔ Cultivate a stronger connection with self and other.

I adapt the therapy to you rather than expecting you to adapt to the therapy. My therapy style is collaborative. I see myself as a fellow traveler walking alongside you, assisting you in discovering and developing your inner expertise and strengths.
We will work together to understand your problems and symptoms (and how they interact) followed by implementation of practical and research-driven solutions all couched in a nurturing and collaborative environment.

I balance kindness and compassion with a focus on helping you to create concrete changes through the use of therapeutic techniques that are evidenced-based which means these methods have been consistently shown effective through research.
We will develop new insights and self awareness. This might include clarifying values, understanding relationship dynamics, or recognizing the impact past experiences have on current functioning. New insights provide direction for needed change.

My approach to therapy is client centered and begins with a conversation to get to know you, your history, identities, struggles and strengths. Therapy begins as you are able to trust me and the process and honestly share your thoughts and feelings.
identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that are holding you back, and make changes that will help you live the life you want to live.

I practice evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and believe that our thoughts are extremely powerful in influencing our outcomes.
