Narrative Therapists in 40222

Navigating life with all of its twists and turns can be very overwhelming. It can be difficult to figure out which pathway to choose towards stability, understanding and comfortability. I believe we can find our way by connecting our emotions, thoughts and feelings to our reality. I am passionate about slowing down our thoughts, engaging our emotions and finding connection points along the way.

When working with individuals, I utilize methods including Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness. When working with couples and intimate partnerships, I find Emotion Focused Therapy interventions and Solution Focused Therapy are helpful.

People consult with a therapist for a positive connection and to problem solve troubles. Therapy is a very special journey, and I will help you to be successful with that process. I am a goal-oriented, accepting therapist working from a strength-based perspective focusing on what clients wish to accomplish at their own pace. Many individuals are looking for effective coping/communication skills, as well as understanding of feelings associated with specific life changes. Clients find it beneficial to receive direction identifying their unhelpful beliefs and replace them with healthier ways of thinking to improve their life quality.

Life's challenges are sometimes overwhelming and unsettling. I enjoy working with individuals and families interested in creating changes, while receiving necessary support. I assist clients in reaching short and long term personalized goals using traditional and nontraditional approaches to address depression, anxiety, trauma, and issues of abuse. In taking a holistic approach to wellness I work within all aspects of life to bring about personal and family growth and development. If you're feeling emotionally stuck, or consumed with no sense of direction, let us work together to make pertinent life changes.

"The opportunity to help you broaden your ideas of who you are and what you can be is undeniably my greatest reward.

I have a strong background in improving mental health and well-being in the context of relationships. Many people define themselves and their family members in a limited way, often forgetting the vast potential that each person embodies.
