YOU are the expert on YOU. Since you are reading this, I suspect you have recognized some trouble in the “you” department and are looking for some support. Whether your troubles include anxiety that is holding you back from living your best life, depression that has you in a fog, trauma, or trouble in another area, I am here to help. I will point you in the right direction if I do not feel I will be the best counselor to serve your needs (though I hope to be). I pride myself on being very real in all my life, including my work with clients. I believe authenticity is critical for a strong bond between counselor and client. It fosters necessary trust to support the work we will do in treatment. I offer my clients a supportive space that is free of judgment...and yes you can cuss. I consider myself an action-oriented, solution-focused therapist. My style is both compassionate and directive. The theoretical orientation that guides much of my work with clients is CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which maintains that what we think, feel, and do are all interconnected. CBT has changed my own life and I am always excited to work with clients to assist them in reclaiming their own lives with the help of CBT therapy. In addition to CBT, I incorporate solution-focused therapy and mindfulness interventions via a holistic approach to ensure each client receives therapy best suited for their needs (mind, body, and spirit). Other approaches used include positive psychology, Cognitive Processing Therapy, EMDR, and more. Healing can be hard. Reaching out is often the toughest step. Contact me today so that we may begin your healing journey together.
