​

My clients often find comfort in discussing their troubles, adjustments and triumphs in the calm and positive atmosphere I provide. I take an individualized approach with each client as we uncover the behaviors, strategies or dynamics that are causing disruptions in their life. Once we are able to understand the current issues, I then teach my clients new strategies and specific ways to replace their old, dysfunctional strategies. With each session, my clients experience an opportunity to learn more about themselves, their functional and dysfunctional patterns and skills to apply immediately in their lives. My clients often see improvements in the areas they work to change and leave treatment with tools they can continue to utilize.

​

​

I have an eclectic therapeutic approach and utilize a variety of psychotherapy methods such as:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Strength-Based Therapy. I focus on and teach a variety of interpersonal/communication skills, mindfulness-based strategies, anxiety-reduction strategies, trauma-informed strategies and resiliency skills.
