I am an active therapist, meaning that I will ask questions and point out patterns to help you get to the root of what really brought you into therapy. My aim is not to tell you what to do, but rather to help you listen to your own inner wisdom.
Get to know each other as it's important to feel heard, safe and understood. I will ask questions about your goals for therapy and will work to help you get to where you want to be mentally and emotionally. Therapy is a journey, not a race.

I am heavy on moving towards solution ( solution focused) and strongly believe that your thinking leads to your actions and feelings. I take an education approach, mixed with listening and making connections between history, patterns and the present

In a quiet, consistent, and affirming setting, I will invite you to speak as freely and as honestly as you can. I will listen carefully and deeply to you so that you might better hear yourself in new, sometimes surprising ways.
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!
