About My Clients
It seems as though I have been a kind of therapist since elementary school, being a good listener and trusted friend to many. Over the years I have continued to refine these skills, among many other therapeutic skills. My clients are those impacted by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, guilt, work/school issues, self-esteem issues, anger, self-defeating behaviors, family/relationship challenges (including blended family issues), adoption issues, LGBTQ issues, ADHD.
My Background and Approach
I have been in practice since 2008 and have had many opportunities to work successfully with individuals, couples, and children/adolescents. I blend an evidence-based approach with a client-centered approach to create a productive and safe therapy environment. While I utilize a variety of approaches, including Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I understand that each person has different needs and will tailor treatment modalities to fit my client's needs/goals.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
For many people, talking with a therapist about your innermost thoughts and troubles can seem overwhelming and frightening, especially considering that the therapist is likely a complete stranger to you. I respect the need to get to know the therapist and establish a trusting therapeutic relationship first before delving into the intricacies of the presenting issue - this flexibility can help as you determine whether to continue with the counseling process. My commitment to you is to respect where you are in the process and to move at a pace that is most comfortable for you.
