Because I believe that motivated people are capable of making changes in their lives, I encourage clients to accept responsibility for their own choices. I enjoy seeing people feel more confident about making independent decisions. Whether they have relationship issues, anxiety, fears, depression, or just ways they need to make small adjustments to their way of being, it is gratifying for me to provide the assistance as I watch them "fix" themselves.

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.

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.
