Utilizing the basic tenets of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy I enjoy assisting those with a wide range of mental health issues. From acute illness such as Bipolar Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder to change of life issues this approach allows for permanent change to the the distorted thought process. My experience with both inpatient treatment and in the clinical setting provides a depth of knowledge to help guide you in the therapeutic journey. If appropriate, I will work with your psychiatrist or medical provider as well as supportive members of your family/life to provide a more comprehensive approach to mental wellness.
You are taking a positive and important step toward a healthier state of mental wellness. I look forward to talking with you and sharing how I may be able to help!
