Through my practice as an LMHC, I have found my style matches perfectly with people living with everyday mental illness such as anxiety/depression/ substance use/life stress.
I help in many different ways, but my primary training and style is in Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy. I work with a persons thoughts and assist them with identifying how these thoughts play a role in how they think, feel, act, perceive and behave. I also specialize in DBT and MI. For those with unstructured needs, traditional talk therapy is very helpful.

My LMHC has allowed me to work with individuals that present with mental health, substance use/addiction, and/or life's basic challenges.
My ideal patient is someone who is seeking change in their lives, even if it means that doing things differently may be difficult at first. They are not afraid to "go there" no matter how hard the work may be. They are open to looking at what their barriers to change may be, as well as the ability to identify their strengths and have the motivation to work towards their best personal self. They want a therapist that is honest and direct, but yet compassionate and supportive, acting as one of their strongest cheerleaders. In essence, they want to live their best possible life that they deserve to live.
