Absorb what is useful, Discard what is not, Add what is uniquely your own." - Bruce Lee. I enjoy focusing on personal growth and building awareness of our own morals and values. Everyone will experience bad times (some longer and more severely than others) and I absolutely love teaching the best ways on how to cope with them. I work with a variety of issues including feeling passive, suicidal thoughts, self harm, and relationship difficulties for men and women. The ideal client for me is a client who is committed to looking at their own behavior and focus on change.
My specialty is in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and been in practice for 10 years. It has allowed me to specialize in teaching coping skills for clients who feel stuck. I have received training for CBT-I which focuses on treating severe insomnia and I enjoy helping people sleep.
I understand that finding a therapist can be difficult so I offer a free 30 minute meet and greet. If you do not feel we are a fit no harm done. I am a very patient therapist. I have an after hours line for extra support when needed. I also offer a free 30 minute meet and greet to see if we are a good match.
