“Balance Your Thoughts”. There is no one size fits all type of therapy. Each person is complex. Come on this journey with me to tune into you. Change is a process that is hard to identify, it takes time and effort. That is where I come in to help you along this journey of change and discovery of self. My approach is empathetic, understanding, and judgement free. I primarily utilize a Client Centered Approach, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). My treatment approach meets the needs of everyone. I have a special interest in the areas of Grief and Loss.
I have held a special interest in the areas of Grief and Loss, and my experiences have allowed me to develop skills in these areas. My views of grief are that they are a normal response to loss and I support finding meaning and purpose in the midst of sadness and grief. Loss is a universal experience and every person’s response may look a little different.
I assess symptoms that can cause emotional or physical distress and work towards understanding patterns, regulating feelings, and working together to find solutions. My goal is to create a safe, judgement free environment, with a no- nonsense approach. Come with me on this journey to discover you.
