Therapists in 50266
The relationship between therapist and client is central to a positive therapeutic experience, therefore, it is important to find a therapist you feel comfortable with. My role as therapist is to help each client improve the quality of their lives as they learn to navigate difficult issues and situations or learn to manage a mental illness. In addition, each client and each issue presented require an individualized approach. To achieve appropriate treatment plans I use a variety of treatment modalities including CBT, DBT, psychoeducation and psychotherapy. I work mainly with women. I work with adult women in all stages of life.

I place a large emphasis on understanding an individual's relationships and view the therapy relationship as the primary vehicle for change. I believe that through the therapy relationship individuals can work through difficult emotions, learn adaptive information/skills, and increase self-knowledge in order to achieve positive change in their life.
