I am very practical. I help people recognize patterns of behavior that are no longer working for them. I help people gain perspective on their situation. I offer immediate ideas and possible solutions to problems. My job is to understand where you are coming from and help you get where you're going. When I work with couples the goal is to create a positive and supportive way of being together. I love animals, am an avid gardener, and love to read and learn about people's unique experiences and cultures. I am studying Emotionally Focused Therapy and practice this with couples and individuals.
My most important job is to understand you. Then I help you understand yourself. From there you make your own decisions about what is best for you. I am a generalist in practice and do not focus on a specific type of therapy. I have studied Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, couples therapy, relaxation techniques, anxiety and depression management and EFT.
You are valuable, you are important, you are deserving. Others rely on you. Be brave and reach out for help if you need it. Being strong in this world means knowing when you need help and trusting that it is there for you. Learning some new skills may be all you need to feel balanced again and get on with your life.
