Introduction

The fact that you’re reading this is proof of hope, the thing that carries us through hardship. Working together, we can build on that hope and change or adapt to whatever you’re facing. Be it depression, anxiety trauma, addiction, or the challenges of relationships, work, or parenting, I am prepared to help. For my part, you can expect know-how, collaboration, and understanding. It’s important for me to know where you’re coming from. From there, we’ll define the problems in solvable ways and work on them using proven therapies. I have over 25 years of experience and I’m versed in a variety of therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindful Meditation, and Therapeutic Lifestyle Change. Using these therapies, people can shift from surviving to thriving. My first duty as your therapist is to earn your trust. In our initial sessions, we will get to know each other and identify goals that are important to you. This often leaves people feeling more hopeful. The sessions that follow will focus on building insight and taking action. While we will always work within your comfort zone, another one of my duties as your therapist to help you expand that zone to include new possibilities. Apart from my clinical work, I also offer professional development consultation, using concepts from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Stoic Philosophy; the original self-help movement. I offer virtual evening and weekend appointments. Please contact me for a free phone consultation.
