I believe therapy should be long term and built on the strong relationship between therapist and client. My approach is solution focused with forward orientation. I try to encourage clients to share at their pace & they will be met exactly where they are at. Anything shared is viewed as a gift & a privilege to hear. I practice eclectic psychotherapy using a wide range of tools, training, and skills with my life experience to support clients in being able to achieve the desired change, acceptance, or processing they may be seeking. I want you to feel safe enough to finally tell someone: what happened to you. You are no longer alone.
I have been working as a therapist for 5 years with diverse supervision and training. I have seen a wide variety of clients ages 5 to 88. I worked with people with Parkinson's and those who have been incarcerated or struggling with addiction. Psychotherapy available for Individuals, Couples, Co-parenting, Families, also Neurodivergent Autism, ADHD, OCD &BPD
Life is hard, but change is harder. I'm so glad you're here. I know you may have been feeling this way for a long time. Maybe this is new. Perhaps someone who loves you said it's time for therapy. What if you could deprogram yourself from harmful thoughts and build your confidence to become your best, most authentic self? How would you and your life change?
