I like to do a lot of listening and to provide emotional support prior to making any suggestions. Also, I have found that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a very effective component to counseling because it helps clients to identify habitual coping strategies that he/she has been employing that have helped to reduce stress in the past but now cause all sorts of problems. In addition to providing emotional support, I will help you to be mindful of these tendencies and practice replacing the thoughts (and the behaviors associated with them) with strategies that will help you live a happier,life.

You might look like you're holding it together on the outside—working, showing up for people, doing what you're supposed to—but inside things feel heavier than they should. When stress, anxiety, or relationship struggles keep resurfacing, it can leave you wondering why. I work with people who feel stuck and want something to change—whether that’s quieting anxiety, improving relationships, or understanding coping habits like substance use that no longer feel helpful. I help people understand what’s driving these experiences and how to move forward differently. Our work focuses on understanding what’s happening beneath the surface.

Compassionate Curiosity is the Cure. This is the simple and straightforward explanation of my philosophy and approach to psychotherapy. My primary model for treatment is Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, a classic model of treatment that focuses on reshaping core beliefs about self and others that often have deep and complex roots. I am a serious person by nature and take my work very seriously. Patients can expect challenging questions, thoughtfulness, and strong focus on getting to the bottom of unproductive thought patterns and habits (Curiosity), but with humor and caring (Compassion).
