To be truly successful in life, one must learn to think successfully. Rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, my goal since becoming a therapist more than fifteen years ago is to help my clients learn to think more evidenced-based, rational thoughts. No matter the presenting issue, learning to think in a way that conforms to reality and truth can give one a better chance to feel and behave in a way that is preferred. Additionally, I hope to help my clients understand that life is difficult, but learning life skills such as problem solving, assertive communication, conflict resolution and time management, life can be very manageable.

By picking up the phone and contacting a therapist, you've taken the hardest step: a coming to an awareness that you would like to affect change in your life. I believe in an interactive, dynamic approach where together we explore the history of an issue, it's effects and most importantly, institute a positive plan for change.

Let’s face it—life can be a bit of a rollercoaster. Sometimes it’s thrilling, and other times it feels like your seatbelt’s loose and you're holding on for dear life. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or just that nagging “stuck” feeling, you don’t have to go through it alone. That’s where I come in. My job (and my passion) is to help you make sense of the chaos, quiet the noise, and uncover the strengths you already have.

My experience has allowed me to work with people from all over the world with both chronic and minor mental health concerns. As a clinician I have worked with people who have depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorders, (PTSD)trauma and a history of family violence. My approach is primarily cognitive behavioral with a significant emphasis on the person's present. Those who would benefit are people who are looking at moving forward with their life with more deliberation and direction. Moving away from seeing themselves as the result of their circumstances but as the master of their being.

My ideal client is excited to collaborate with me and is hungry to address issues they have. They enjoy the idea of working with someone who is hungry to improve their practice and who truly wants to understand the clients they work with. A full understanding of what might be going on is not required, as I enjoy the process of getting to the meat of an issue with a client together. I believe this creates greater change in a person as you are working through it with a team.

Our life's work is helping clients achieve a better sense of self and happiness...more recently we've recognized that without good mental health providers, finding this balance in life can be more difficult and stressful. As a result, we tend toward an Integrative approach and help our clients transform into the people they want to be. We see each client as an individual with many parts to their identity. Utilizing a holistic and systemic approach we help clients reintegrate the parts of themselves to function better as individuals and within their systems. Our focus tends toward a systems based approach using behavior methods.
