"What do you do for a living?" is a common question in our society. So common that oftentimes people begin to believe their occupation defines who they are. If that facet of their identity goes missing for any reason (injury, job loss, trauma), people often feel lost or confused about who they truly are. I believe that therapeutic support and counseling can help people rediscover their purpose while challenging their thoughts of what they are truly capable of.

I enjoy working with any person who is motivated to overcome issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, or more severe disorders. In my 26 years in practice as a psychologist, I am frequently reminded of the importance of not being so problem-focused that one forgets to look at the person's strengths, which are the most valuable tools for recovery and personal growth. I feel privileged to be invited by clients to join them on their journey of growth, healing and discovery.

Accepting new clients and appointments within in the same week. With the current climate, our country has caused an increased number of people feeling overwhelmed, stressed, depressed, anxious and feelings of uncertainty. Battling those feelings can make you feel exhausted, irritable, and even want to give up. Instead of giving in to the very thing that is weighing you down, choose to focus on yourself and reestablish happiness.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Clients come to me with a variety of symptoms, ranging from the physical (chest pains, stomach pains) to the emotional (panic attacks, detachment). Some clients don't know what they are feeling, they just know they want to feel better. We work together to understand root causes and core beliefs, and then learn coping skills to change the way they think so they can change the way they feel. Clients leave our sessions feeling more empowered. Rather than life happening to them, I teach clients how to be an active player in their own life.

Sometimes, the mental and emotional load of life can feel overwhelming. You’re being pulled in a million different directions and trying to meet what can feel like impossible demands. You have so much going on that you start to feel like you’ve lost yourself. The feelings of depression and anxiety start to creep in, and you find yourself leaning on unhealthy behaviors like substance use or mindless doom scrolling on your phone to cope and distract. It doesn't have to be this way- I can help.

Motivational Interviewing Therapists

How does motivational interviewing work?

Motivational interviewing aims to uncover a person’s internal motivation to change their life. Toward this end, the therapist listens, empathizes, and collaborates with the client based on their perspective; the therapist doesn’t adhere to a predetermined plan for change or impose their viewpoint on the client. Discovering an individual’s most important reasons for change, and guiding them to achieve those changes, can empower people to shift from ambivalence to action.

Is motivational interviewing evidence-based?

Yes, research shows that motivational interviewing can help treat alcohol and substance use — and in different ways such as reducing drinking, reducing resistance, and increasing the likelihood of staying in treatment. Motivational interviewing has also been shown to help people lose weight, adhere to medication regimens, improve diet for those with Type II diabetes, and improve healthy behaviors in children.

How long does motivational interviewing last?

Motivational interviewing is a short-term therapy that can last just one or two sessions. In some cases, motivational interviewing may be used in conjunction with longer-term therapies, but for most people, motivational interviewing is a brief intervention that aims to help patients understand their personal, specific, and internal reasons for changing their life.

What differentiates motivational interviewing from person-centered therapy?

In person-centered therapy, the individual is in the driver’s seat of the treatment process, creating space for them to trust their instincts and arrive at their own solutions. The two approaches are similar because motivational interviewing is also client-centered; however, person-centered therapy is more open-ended while motivational interviewing is somewhat more structured; the goal is to change, and the therapist helps the client specifically discover their internal motivations to modify their behavior.
