About My Clients

Does it appear that you are trying everything to be happy and content, and for some reason, you aren't? Does it seem that sometimes your emotions just take over? I understand this concept and will assist you in making some changes in how you process your emotions, thoughts, and your behavior. You deserve all the best that life has to offer and that starts right now, no excuses. I work with clients with ADHD/ADD, Anxiety, Cancer diagnoses, Depression, Grief, Loss, Trauma, and Overachievers.

My Background and Approach

I have 2.5 years of experience working in a medical setting providing counseling to those with a new diagnosis, treatments, and life transitions. Here, we use Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). We will use specific techniques based on one's present needs, acceptance, and life goals. I work with individuals and couples. We can make this happen. During therapy, you will learn at least three new coping tools to use when you leave. These coping skills will be great to have when you are experiencing anxiety, depression, or anger and frustration to create relief. Collectively, we will talk about working through some tough spots and helping with creating a more peaceful, emotionally regulated and rewarding life. I am a direct, caring, solution-focused individual. Let's bring some peace and tranquility into your life at all times.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone deserves a simple, uncomplicated, drama-free life replete with joy and happiness. We will identify cognitive distortions (thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes) which produce negative behavioral patterns to improve emotional regulation and to find coping strategies to use daily. I can assist you with pinpointing ways of thinking that are not working and find new behaviors that will add levity, laughter, and optimism throughout your life. I am the consummate outdoorsy person, so don't be surprised when we talk about exercise, making social connections, playing sports, or going on an hour hike. Get out there and explore this world of happiness that is waiting for you. We can take this healing journey one step at a time.
