The decision to start therapy is a courageous one. Perhaps you tried resolving your problems alone to no avail; or sought support through friends or family, only to realize they can only help so much. Maybe you already saw a therapist who was just not a good fit. I understand these struggles and can provide the professional guidance you have been searching for. I have nearly 25 years of experience providing individual, family, and couples therapy to people of all ages and diagnoses. My areas of specialty include Anxiety, Depression, Anger Management, Bipolar Disorder, Addiction, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and Autism.
It has been said, “if you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” Similarly, if we can use your therapy to gently adjust how you think about and react to stressful life events, you can improve your overall outlook and start to feel better. This will also allow you to focus on things you can control and let go of those you cannot.
To this end, I offer a practical, solution-focused approach, often providing direct feedback for coping with stressors, resolving their underlying causes, and reaching your goals. Above all, I strive to always listen carefully and empathetically, so as to fully understand the sensitive issues discussed from your perspective and at your pace.
