About My Clients

I am eager to help you achieve your goals and would love to hear what concerns you have.  I believe that my clients are the experts of their lives, and I will work to use your expertise and perspectives to work towards succeeding in your goals.  Therapy can be a very vulnerable experience and helping you to be comfortable is a priority of mine.  Looking for help is a monumental step towards change, and I hope that I can work beside you through the next steps!

My Background and Approach

I have knowledge and practice of many prominent counseling theories and will adapt my counseling approach to your needs and goals. I tend to implement a solution-focused approach in order to not only focus in on what your goals are, but also to get you to those goals as quickly as possible. While we develop solutions for your goals, I tend to think outside of the box and try to find unique solutions that are catered to you individually. I enjoy using cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT) to confront anything that is standing in the way of your goals and to promote positive thinking. On top of developing cognitive tools, I find that it is also helpful to develop tools that focuses on the body’s reaction.  Using points from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I will guide you in methods that can be a great addition to the cognitive tools to help your body calm in order to process through your thoughts more clearly.
