About My Clients

The greatest gift a therapist can give a client is to help develop self awareness. In my experience, many people have a hard time understanding their own feelings and aren't really sure what their goals are. I have also helped client develop their methods of communication and their ability to assert themselves. My clients have had problems with depression, anxiety and addictions, life transitions like divorce, and relationship issues.

My Background and Approach

I am person-centered , which means I value the professional rapport we build above everything else. If the client can trust me and feels comfortable talking to me, then we can accomplish things together. I also use elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) as well as other interventions to help her clients build their strengths and help them achieve self awareness.
