My goal is to help you "get your life back" from mental illness, depression, anxiety, self-improvement, marriage conflict, PTSD, or difficult children. While I can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life.
I can use a number of different approaches that would help you including emotion-focused therapy, hypnosis, NLP, cognitive processing therapy, EMDR, Gestalt, play therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Groups for PTSD and depression/anxiety for adults using CPT and CBT. Groups are helpful as they are at a reduced cost and can learn from others.
Within the practice, I work with a variety of populations including marriage and family, play therapy (children and adolescents), and mood disorders.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
