I am a therapist. However, I am also a human being which is why my approach is genuine and honest with sprinkles of humor tossed in.
Work on how to improve mood, function better, manage stress and anxiety, move past trauma, solve problem, adjust to change, understand your identities, improve confidence and communication skill, have healthy relationship, and accomplish life goals.

We collaborate to set and accomplish your goals in therapy. I validate and empathize with you, accept and understand where you are coming from, teach problem solving and coping skills, help improve your mood, and refer you to resources you may need.

Together we will explore how our mistaken beliefs about self impact stress responses, emotional reactions, shifts in mood, and the way we engage or disengage with life. A negative self-concept will show-up in the way that we interact with the world.

I would refer to myself as a motivator for my client! Viewing presenting concerns from a discouraged view I use psychoeducation and lots of encouragement to help clients shift their perspective-based beliefs around self, others, and the world.
