I use therapy approaches that help teach clients specific skills they need to truly heal from early-life trauma, anxiety, OCD, and substance use disorders. I use a combination of skills-building, making sense of life events, and structured treatment
Therapy is a beautiful journey that I am thankful to get to go on with each client I work with. I act as a guide, teacher, and support throughout the process.

In addition to traditional talk therapy, I use CBT and schema therapy to help clients address irritational thoughts and maladaptive beliefs that may be impacting their mental health so that they can get to the root problem and make lasting changes.
Sessions are geared towards gaining deeper insights, developing new skills, and/or providing a clear direction to move toward. We will work to quickly identify the root cause(s) of the issue and set up a change plan to get you where you need to go.

My role is to create a safe and non-judgmental environment that provides you room to discover how to build and sustain the positive and healthy life you desire. My goal is to ensure each session provides you with value.
. . . . discover the real connections in your life; the opportunities for you to become a stronger, healthier, more virtuous person; how well you relate to self, others, and the world; and how you can be THE agent in all you think, feel, and do.

While I value the exploration of our motives, wishes, desires, hopes, and fears, and while I am very much a relationally-based clinician, I like to be practical and focus on the "now what?" of people's issues. Together we get to discover "the way."
Together we will work to gain insights on your problems, learn ways to destress, and find ways to communicate your needs to the people in your life.

My approach is 1st and foremost we can talk about what you want/need to talk about. When people want some fast effective progress we can work at exploring the reasons why they do what they do. I also like to use relaxation techniques.
