About My Clients
I'm glad you're reaching out to get the help you need right now. It can be difficult to find a new therapist even in the best of times - and it really can be an empowering process for you. I am passionate about mental health and helping you live the life you really want, the way you really want to live it. I'm happy to talk with you briefly to see what's going on and how I can help, or offer you referrals to other therapists that might be a good fit. I know a lot of great therapists in the area
My Background and Approach
I use a holistic, relational approach with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), psychodynamic and narrative. I've spent twenty years working with adults and adolescents with issues from anxiety and depression to bipolar and PTSD. I help individuals and families develop emotional strength, clarity and confidence. I join with you to explore patterns, identify goals, and learn skills to facilitate growth and recognize potential for change.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe the role of a therapist is to help you achieve clarity and balance so that you can move forward through life with strength, joy, and purpose. I rely on my clinical expertise and individual life experience to join with you where you are right now, and help guide you through to where (and how) you want to be. I lead a group practice called Clear Mind Full Heart. Each therapist draws upon extensive experience and training in psychology and our own individual life experience. We pull from a range of clinical methods to take an eclectic and interactive approach in sessions with natural compassion, humor and insight. What that means is we have a lot of psychological tools in our bag and the creativity and experience to use whatever combination of them will help guide you at any given time in therapy. We all share a passion for this work, compassion for our clients, and commitment to personal growth. We look forward to meeting you.
