I have 23 years of clinical experience and work with anxiety, depression, life stressors, historical trauma and relationship problems. Clients who value deeper insight into their experience and desire legitimate change, do well with my style of therapy. I utilize a humanistic orientation informed by sound behavioral science. I have a raw, unfiltered vibe and a no frills approach to helping client's grasp their circumstances fully and make the changes they seek. I believe therapy is about action, self exploration and above all what is most important to the client's mental health.
I make a point of demystifying the therapy process, removing what is unnecessary and getting to the core of what is most important to the person's authentic experience. My clients take things home with them from their sessions that they can apply practically in their day to day lives. I emphasize client empowerment and minimize therapeutic dependency.
I am trained in various traditional and evidenced based coaching and therapy techniques and I am holistic in my approach. I can provide short term consultation or longer term assistance depending on your unique life situation. I tailor the breadth and depth of the helping experience to the unique needs, circumstances and attributes of my clients.
