Cognitive Processing (CPT) Therapists in M2M

Do you feel stressed, anxious, or depressed? Experienced a recent loss? Are you wondering how you can better manage your thoughts and emotions or enjoy relationships more? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, hardships, careers, and their lives. Together during therapy, I would be happy to offer new insights and different perspectives for you. I help you put a plan in place to help you move forward, and celebrate your successes along the way. Jointly, we will work on developing practical skills to lead a happier and healthier life.

I work with individuals, couples and families of all ages experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and relationship challenges. I am empathic and collaborative in helping clients achieve their goals, offering support and encouragement along the way.

We are all trying to cope in the best way we know how. Sometimes we become overwhelmed by the challenges we face and have a hard time finding our inner strengths and resources. I would like to support you in making progress in your recovery. I am passionate about providing a mental health service that addresses the multiple barriers that affect your wellness and recovery. If you are dealing with depression, anger, emotion control, anxiety or panic symptoms, I can help you to figure out your goals and walk with you on your journey to recover a life worth living.

I am dedicated to supporting individuals experiencing symptoms from trauma, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, codependency, and low self-worth/self-esteem. I explore how the previous experiences we have encountered and the relationships we have had impact the way we view ourselves and interact with the world around us. I like to use a variety of tools to aid in symptom management while also working with the root to facilitate healing. My practice is trauma-informed and attachment-focused.

Life handed me lemons. Can I "make lemonade "? ​Yes, you can. You have what it takes! As a therapist I'm of the belief that we have the internal resources to be able to generate positivity and resilience to bring us through tough times. I am here to guide.

Do you want to heal from trauma? Are you a first responder seeking support with the challenging situations you have been exposed with? Do you want to learn to manage your depression and anxiety? Acknowledging that there is something wrong in your life, takes courage and strength and I want to commend you for taking that first step. Whether you are experiencing PTSD, trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, phobias, depression, stress or anger management, addiction, grieving, relationship issues and cross cultural issues, I am here to help you with your journey of healing and recovery in a safe, open, and collaborative environment.

I have a lifelong passion for advocating for the personal wellbeing and for the support of others on their personal journey through the peaks and valleys of life. I am passionate about helping people who are struggling in their everyday lives to recover and regain their mental health. I transitioned to the mental health sector after working in the corporate world in many different settings which gave me an extensive life experience. I’ve pastored for over 20 years, and in that role have provided therapy to help clients work through personal conflicts, spiritual issues and marriage and family problems.
