Many people appear to be confident, when in reality they feel as though they can barely keep it together. Sometimes, the challenge may seem more than anyone can handle. If you inwardly feel overwhelmed or trapped in your life, counseling could help. People often get stuck in patterns that restrict growth or their ability to see new perspectives. Effective counseling can help you gain insight and control over obstacles that prevent you from living a full life. Therapy requires courage, an open mind, and a need to do more than survive; it requires a desire to thrive.

I prefer to take an integrated and holistic approach to counseling and often utilize Cognitive Behavior Techniques as well as a Mindful Based Techniques.
We can all benefit from talking to someone at some point in our lives whether it be regarding stress, anxiety, frustration, irritability, anger, depressed mood or something in particular in your life that you need to vent about in a safe, nonjudgmental space to someone who will listen genuinely and empathetically. From these sessions you can both gain and lose. For example, you can lose things you have been holding on to and gain freedom and clarity. You can unlearn negative patterns of thinking or unwanted behaviors and learn some new skills and coping techniques. Self Discovery and Self Awareness are vital parts of this journey.

I specialize in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Therapy is a tool to help a person become the best version of themselves. Trauma, stress, unhealthy relationships, poor coping skills, emotional dys-regulation are all factors that contribute to being unwell. Counseling allows a person to work through those barriers and improve the way that they manage stress, find healthy ways to express emotions, work through trauma that has caused you harm, build tools to have healthy, productive, relationships with others and ultimately find alternate ways to cope with distressing events within our lives. A counselor is not only a therapist, but a guide and facilitator of growth.

I utilize an eclectic approach and pull from training in different evidence based and person centered therapy modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), CBT for Anxiety, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Motivational Interviewing.
Hello and welcome! If you’ve landed here, you’ve taken the first step in seeking support for yourself or a loved one, and that effort should be celebrated. The idea of sharing details about personal lives with a stranger can be scary. Many people make the choice to connect with a trained therapist and end up finding value in having an unbiased person outside of their friend/family group listen, validate, and share helpful strategies. I have been practicing as a licensed therapist since 2016 and I find great meaning in being able to partner with people as they move closer towards healing and growth.

I use Cognitive- Behavior Treatment to empower people bring about the change they want.
Sometimes things arise in someone's life that seem insurmountable. When talking to friends and family doesn't help it may seem like there is no way through a situation. Speaking to a trained therapist may be the best way to bring about the change you need. This can be difficult and uncomfortable at times but with hard work change is not only possible but inevitable. Anxiety, depression, relationship issues can be treated with strength-based, client-focused treatment.

Behavioral Issues Therapists
What happens in therapy for behavioral issues?
No matter the type of therapy, individuals form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is often therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Individuals learn to identify situations that are especially troublesome for them and acquire new patterns of thinking and behaving. In therapy for ADHD, one of the most common behavior issues for children, individuals learn how to improve frustration tolerance, control impulsivity, manage attentional focus, and gain skills of self-organisation.
What therapy types help with behavioral issues?
Many types of therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Perhaps best-known and most widely tested is cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT), in which individuals learn new behavioral strategies and curb reactivity to frustrating or distressing situations that trigger disruptive behaviour. Anger, anxiety, mood disorders, impulse control problems are commonly addressed in CBT. Family therapy or parent management training is often helpful to reduce parent-child conflict and behavioral difficulties at home.
How long does therapy last for behavioral issues?
Among popular approaches to treating behavioral concerns, CBT is considered a short-term therapy intended to be administered in 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Parent training in behavior management, often used when the underlying cause of behavior issues is ADHD in children under 12, usually occurs in weekly sessions for 8 to 16 weeks. When behavioral issues stem from persistent aggression or defiance, therapy may last for months, and usually targets both children and their parents.
How effective is therapy for behavior issues?
Studies show that therapy for behavior issues in children is highly effective and may prevent the development of antisocial behavior later in life. Family intervention—parent management training or family therapy, both of which involve parents and children together—is considered most effective, notably for children under age 12 who persistently engage in aggressive, defiant, rule-breaking or other disruptive behavior. Whether provided alone or in combination with medication, CBT is highly effective in helping people regulate their emotions, and for people with ADHD, it addresses impulsiveness, hyperactivity and attentional focus.
