I believe that everyone has the capacity to make healthy changes in their lives. I support clients to identify negative, unhelpful thinking patters while confronting destructive lifestyle choices to make needed adjustments that support health and wellbeing. Addressing past challenges can help to understand current experience but ultimately it is critical to make concrete shifts in the way we think and how we act if we are to make improvements in emotional, behavioral and mental health. We are the agents of our own change and taking radical responsibility for our lives can empower us to increase our sense of wellbeing over time.
I help my clients to develop the skills needed for honest, critical self evaluation and responsible decision making. To internalize a sense of agency over their lives and to make changes. I find that, with support, most are able to acknowledge what's not working, identify a healthier path, and slowly make the adjustments needed to improve their lives.
If you're reading this, you likely have a sense that something needs to change. I believe in your ability to make those changes and I will do my best to help you along your journey. Asking for help is a courageous first step.

My approach is informed by several different evidenced based treatment models. I use elements of The Seven Challenges, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment therapy to help clients take an honest look at their lives to figure out what's working, what's not working and what needs to change. I then support them to make those changes.
