Services Provided
I help adults 18+ and couples identify what ways of thinking and behaviors need adjusting in an effort to improve relationships with others and the self. Together, we can assess adverse life experiences that have contributed to low self esteem and distorted ways of seeing yourself, others and the world. We will also uncover core beliefs that are deeply embedded in your psyche that are barriers to your goals.
Finding a compatible therapist is essential, the relationship with your mental health provider is a very important factor. I am considered by many of my clients very relatable and personable as I am human first and have dealt with some of the same issues as you. You deserve a safe space to heal, learn, and grow. Let's begin your healing journey!

What can clients take away from sessions with you?
You can expect to learn how to manage life's stressors through skills training as well as evidenced based theories. You can also expect a therapeutic relationship that is safe and empowering. We all have "blind spots" so expect to receive constructive feedback to increase your outlook on situations that you may need more clarity with.
What are your biggest strengths?
I specialize in helping clients think in more rational ways as many clients become disturbed in their mood when they "should" or "must" on situations or the people in their lives. I also specialize in increasing clients insight into their negative self talk and negative outlook on themselves which exacerbate their depression and/or anxiety. Boundaries and assertiveness are skills that are frequently taught in my sessions. I also love working with couples to increase their interpersonal skills to have a more functional relationship.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize the following forms of psychotherapy:
​
CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy)
DBT (dialectical behavior therapy)
REBT (rational emotive behavior therapy)
SFBT (solution-focused brief therapy)
