I believe that all clients deserve space to be seen and supported to reach their goals, and I work hard to meet clients where they are at. That being said, my ideal client is the person who struggles with anxiety, depression, and/or ADHD (and maybe working on/ maintaining sobriety) who just needs some extra support and guidance to manage the symptoms of those illnesses, as well as all of the emotions of recovery and re-entry (structure, support, etc.). These clients are the ones who often benefit most from stabilization, goal-oriented treatment, and support with emotional regulation and/or building healthy routines.

Greetings potential clients! I take an eclectic and strengths-based approach that investigates and regenerates mental health.

Guided by the wisdom of Jung's words, "There can be no transforming of darkness into light, without emotion," I specialize in unraveling the intricate threads of emotional intelligence. Grounded in a profound understanding of belief systems, my training delves into the core, where past ideologies shape your present reality. Embracing emotional intelligence is not just a skill; it's a transformative state-of-mind that shapes thoughts and heightens emotional awareness. I advocate not for change but for understanding and acceptance.

Overcoming mental and emotional challenges can be difficult, but even more when you feel like you are dealing with them alone. It's not always easy finding someone who's willing to listen and understands from a culturally responsive lens, especially when discussing personal challenges that have been discouraged outside of the home. Stress can come from many different avenues of life (career, family, relationships, society, and culture, etc) and can bring about depressions, anxiety, anger, isolation, and low-self esteem. It's not easy learning healthy ways to cope, managing your symptoms, and even recognizing that there's a problem.

I am eager to work with adults who have experienced trauma and want therapy to look through how it has impacted them. Trauma can mean a lot to different people though whether that is from sexual assault, military combat, child abuse, cultural/religious abuse or loss of a loved one. What is important is that there was a meaningful shift you struggle to deal with, and I want to help. It also more than post-traumatic stress. You can also experience great sadness, daily stress or trouble in your relationships you do not understand.

Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists
What should I expect from rational emotive behavior therapy?
The therapist will work with the individual to recognize rigid thought patterns that sabotage goals and set them back. The objective is to identify, challenge and reframe negative thoughts and enable an individual to understand that they possess control over their emotions and their behavior. This therapy often emphasizes the use of reasoning and self-direction.

Is rational emotive behavior therapy effective?
Rational emotive behavior therapy is evidence-based and is highly effective. It helps a person reframe self-defeating or catastrophizing thoughts and gives them tools to approach a range of circumstances they may encounter post-therapy as well. REBT can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.

When do I know if I need treatment with rational emotive behavior therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with rigid, unreasonable thoughts that dwell in negativity, they may feel stuck. A rational emotive behavior therapist can help a person examine and change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior. This concise and concrete therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

How long does rational emotive behavior therapy last?
REBT therapy treatment is short-term and focused in nature. It can last for a set number of sessions, ending within a few weeks or months. Like any type of therapy, however, sessions depend on the individual, as well as the severity of their condition or problem. The individual may wish to ask the therapist about typical progress and how long they expect treatment to take.
