About My Clients

I work collaboratively with my clients to help them identify personal goals that they can incorporate in treatment. Therapy is a team effort which involves self exploration and willingness to work on making life long changes to become your best self and live your best life.

My Background and Approach

I have been working as a therapist for the past 20 plus years. I have learned a lot of tools and use a variety of those tools to help clients get maximum benefit from therapy. My approach is to work with my clients to identify what coping skills that they currently have and and work on integrating new coping skills in a way that they understand. I teach clients how to understand anxiety, depression, trauma and ADHD. How it affects the thought process and as well as the physical effects. We will discuss what is going on in you daily life and how mental health issues can be triggered by simple daily activities. Using tools like mindfulness to become aware of how thought patterns affect the way we see our world and how we react to things that happen to us in life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that we all have our own path in life, and on that path we often have internal struggles. As we learn to accept who we are and learn how to become comfortable in our own skin, there is nothing that we cannot accomplish. We are always doing the very best that we can in every single moment, even is our best is our worst.
