Life can present many challenges: anxiety, depression, complex decisions, parenting issues, navigating college life, relationship difficulties. trauma, grief, and life transitions. Financial and work life challenges, family transitions, divorce and separation, adoption, senior issues, health challenges, caregiving responsibilities, and social skills and emotional intelligence coaching are areas that can benefit from support. Through collaboration, in a strength based, trauma informed and supportive setting, navigating these growth opportunities can become more manageable.
My philosophy is to begin where you are, engage by actively listening and creating a setting of trust to discuss challenges and identified goals. Approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy, in a trauma informed focus are my specializations we will discuss to plan your services.
Growth and change are possible through the therapy process by enhancing your self- awareness and personal insights, and challenging patterns that may be holding you back from your authentic self. Our therapy alliance will be an engaged collaboration where you are validated, empowered and an active participant in all aspects of the process.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT) is my primary modality for many life challenges with others used as specific goals and needs indicate. CBT is a strength based empowering therapy that helps to identify the relationship between thoughts and feelings and behaviors. Patterns in these that may be boundaries to personal growth are guided to new perspectives with empowerment in skills acquisition.
