I serve clients from a plethora of diverse backgrounds and situations; I enjoy learning about cultures, traditions, and customs. Our differences are our natural strengths, these differences don't separate us, they bring us closer together! With this perspective I enjoy working with clients that are looking, and ready, to embrace the challenges they are experiencing. Clients often encounter multiple obstacles that intersect with their past, present, and future selves. My goal is to deliver the appropriate treatment that is needed for clients to experience optimal relief.
Thoughts, feelings, and behaviors commonly contribute to the symptoms clients' experience. Therefore, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) are typically utilized.
My purpose is to listen, to gain understanding of your needs, and to provide treatment as it is needed for your unique self. We all struggle, but we do not have to struggle alone or in fear. Please reach out to me if you are interested in rebuilding a perspective that serves you and creates sustainable life changes that make the struggle a bit easier.
