About My Clients

I prefer clients who are not taking a prescription drug approach to psychotherapy and want to learn skills and techniques. Instead of medication, I promote meditation. I am not a good treatment fit for personality disorders or clients with depression. I specialize in showing you how to create your own evidence based tools for reducing anxiety, anger, ADHD-related challenges as well as helping you find yourself increasing creative and productive expression.

My Background and Approach

With me as your therapist, you'll get more of a laid-back feel as we utilize evidence-based treatments, (like Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy/Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness /Meditation). The director of my psychotherapy training was a student and supervisee of Albert Ellis (creator of REBT/CBT). I have a great teaching model where not only do you get unmatched awesome therapy but you can also learn its art as you progress.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Through researching topics including the genetic factors of musicianship, ADHD, and spirituality I found each topic revolves around free will. I think by entering therapy, an individual seeks their own way from anxiety, depression, or other negative feelings (beliefs/thoughts/emotions/behaviors).
