I have the privilege of helping people who suffer from depression and anxiety. I use TeamCbt which is a cutting edge evidence based approach that gives them tools to change the way they think and feel and gets them the relief they are looking for. My goal is to be the last counselor they have to see by empowering them with techniques, skills and strategies they can use for the rest of their lives. It is incredible to play a role in getting relief for people who have been suffering and to see them go from despair to freedom. It often happens in a matter of a few sessions. I have been specializing in this approach for over 2 years
Are you prepared to embrace genuine change in your life, progress beyond mere conversation, and undertake the necessary efforts to overcome your obstacles? (Depression;Chronic Pain;Anxiety;Stress;) I am here to assist you in achieving these goals. I enjoy working with people who are willing to do therapy homework so we can ensure they acquire new skills.
Our collaborative journey towards change begins with understanding your unique situation, complex identities, and life circumstances. Then we will develop an effective plan. Subsequently, you will be introduced to and practice tools to create change. Typically, my clients require between 7-10 hours of therapy to meet their therapeutic goals.
