My ideal client comes as they are, or at the very least, is open to change. My role includes helping a client uncover the desire and motivation to change patterns that may keep them from moving forward. Being open to change may be all we need to take small steps in the right direction. Like a snowball rolling downhill, motivation increases with the momentum of progress.
My clients describe me as loving and non-judgmental, as having insight that illuminates the hidden corners of one’s heart where pain, difficult emotions and distorted thinking moved in and got stuck. I rely on evidenced-based and scientifically-supported therapeutic interventions that can help you get unstuck.
Engaging with a therapist can be unsettling. Deeply, we often fear change. I will meet you where you are. After meeting you and learning about your journey, together, we will identify your strengths and barriers to progress and agree on a strategy or plan.

A treatment plan depends on you. You will select the intervention that meets your needs. Your issues may be caused by a lack of relationship skills or distorted beliefs about yourself or others. Or, you may struggle with thoughts or behaviors that were born out of trauma. Lastly, we may focus on a healthy diet, sleep, and exercise. You are in control. I will recommend, but you get to decide.
